ELECTRICITY
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Establish policies and procedures to train and educate your staff on the risks
associated with electrical equipment.
• Warning—To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to supply
mains with a protective earth.
• Warning—Make sure the position of the bed is such that you can quickly, without obstruction,
unplug the power cord(s) from the main power supply if necessary.
• Warning—Fluid spills onto the bed electronics can cause a hazard. If such a spill occurs, unplug
the bed, and remove it from service. Thoroughly clean the bed and allow it to dry; then have the
bed checked by service personnel.
Caution—Before transporting the bed, make sure that the power cord is properly stored on the hook at
the head-end of the bed. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Improper use or handling of the power cord may cause damage to the power cord.
If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed from service, and
contact the appropriate maintenance personnel.
• Warning—The included power cord set and Li-ion battery may not be used with any other
equipment other than the Progressa® Bed model they are packaged with.
• Warning—If the integrity of the external protective earth conductor is in doubt, operate the
bed from its internal electrical power source.
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 usage. 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
electro-surgical 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.
Policies and procedures must be established to train and educate your staff on the risks associated with
electric equipment. It is never prudent or necessary for personnel to place any part of their body under
or between moving parts of the bed. Whenever a bed is being cleaned or serviced, it should be
unplugged from its power source, and the lockouts should be activated to keep the bed from
accidentally operating due to the battery backup. Refer to the Progressa® Bed Service Manual (171748).
