Affinity® 4 Birthing Bed Instructions for Use (USR025 REV 13) 49
ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS GUIDANCE
Caution—This device meets all requirements for electromagnetic compatibility per IEC 60601-1-2. It is
unlikely that the user will encounter problems with this device because of inadequate electromagnetic
immunity. However, electromagnetic immunity is always relative, and standards are based on
anticipated environments of use. If the user notes unusual device behavior, particularly if such behavior
is intermittent and associated with nearby usage of radio or TV transmitters, cell phones, or
electrosurgical equipment, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference. If such behavior
occurs, the user should try moving the interfering equipment further from this device.
Warning—The P3700 Affinity® 4 Birthing Bed should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the P3700 and the other electrical
equipment to make sure they operate as intended.
Make sure the P3700 bed operates correctly when it is used near other electronic devices. Portable and
mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect electrical equipment.
