Electromagnetic Interference - Stiegelmeyer Seta pro Instruction Manual

Safety instructions
•
Inform patients that smoking is not allowed in bed.
•
Only use additional equipment (e.g. electric blankets) and other electrical devices (e.g.
lamps, radios) that are in perfect working order!
•
Ensure that this equipment is used only for the purpose intended.
•
Ensure that this equipment is not inadvertently placed on or under the bedding (danger of
overheating)!
•
Avoid using extension cables or multiple socket bars under the bed (risk of fire due to
penetrating fluids).
•
Do not place any flammable materials (e.g. bedding) or any solid, hard objects under-
neath the mattress base (danger of heat congestion/electrical hazards when in contact
with electrical components installed there, especially in the area of the power supply/
battery under the backrest).
5.2.2

Electromagnetic interference

As electromedical equipment, this hospital bed is subject to special safety measures with re-
spect to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). For this reason, observe the following instruc-
tions when installing and operating the hospital bed.
Portable and mobile high-frequency communication devices (e.g. cordless telephones, mo-
bile telephones, baby monitors, WLAN, WIFI, wireless equipment, etc.) can influence the op-
eration of electromedical equipment. These influences have been minimised by means of the
robust, interference-resistant design of the electrical adjustment features of this bed.
This hospital bed must not be used in combination with high frequency surgical equipment.
As with every electrical device, even if all the specified EMC limiting values are observed
during operation, disruptions from and to other closely situated high-frequency communica-
tion devices cannot be completely ruled out (e.g. 'crackling' on a radio). In such rare cases,
increase the distance between the devices or align them differently, and make sure that they
do not use the same electrical outlet, or switch the disruptive/disrupted device off temporarily.
Explain the necessary precautions to the patient as well.
