Risk of Fire
Various external factors can result in a fire. To prevent a fire, take the following precautionary
measures:
Use only flame-retardant mattresses and bedding if possible.
Inform patients that smoking is not allowed in bed.
Use only 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 pene-
trating fluids).
5.2.2 Electromagnetic Interference
As electromedical equipment, this hospital bed is subject to special safety measures with respect
to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). For this reason, observe the following instructions when
installing and operating the hospital bed:
Portable and mobile high-frequency communication devices (e.g. cordless telephones, mobile tel-
ephones, baby monitors, WLAN, WIFI, wireless equipment, etc.) can influence the operation of
electromedical equipment. These influences have been minimised by means of the robust, inter-
ference-resistant design of the electrical adjustment features of this bed.
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 communication devices
cannot be completely ruled out (e.g. ‘crackling’ on a radio). In such rare cases, increase the dis-
tance 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.
5.3 Safety Information for Attachments and Additional Equipment
Efficient and safe operation combined with maximum protection of patients can only be guaran-
teed if original Stiegelmeyer accessories are used that are designed for the relevant model of bed!
Make sure that the attachment of accessories does not produce any crush or shearing zones
when the bed sections are adjusted. If this cannot be ensured, you must lock those particular ad-
justment controls! (Use the locking functions on the handset for this purpose).
