5.3 Safety information for attachments, accessories and additional
equipment
WARNING
5.3.1 Use of additional electromedical equipment
Similar to illustration!
Risk of crushing
If incompatible safety sides and mattresses are used, contrary to the specifications in this
instruction manual, hazards to patients may arise due to entrapment.
•
Efficient and safe operation combined with maximum protection of patients can only be
guaranteed if original Stiegelmeyer accessories are used that are designed for the rele-
vant model of bed!
•
Make sure that by attaching accessories, crush or shearing zones for the patient are not
created when the bed sections are adjusted. If this cannot be ensured, you must lock
those particular adjustment controls! (Use the locking functions on the LCD handset/
control box for this purpose)
When additional mains-operated electrical (electromedical) equipment such as infusion
pumps, data processing devices, ECG/EEG devices, etc., is used in combination with this
electrically adjustable bed, the entire arrangement constitutes an "electromedical system".
When using electromedical equipment, precautions must be taken to comply with electro-
magnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and allowable leakage current limits. The instal-
lation and commissioning of electromedical devices must be carried out in accordance with
EMC recommendations described in the accompanying documentation. If necessary, the bed
(using the connection pin at the head end of the bed), and also the additional equipment as-
sociated with the bed, should be connected to the hospital’s potential equalisation (PE) sys-
tem.
When the bed is connected to the mains electricity supply, it must always be connected to
the hospital’s potential equalisation system when intravascular and intracardiac applications
are involved. The potential equalisation of the bed applies to the mattress base frame. Addi-
tional assemblies and accessories (such as headboards and footboards, safety sides, patient
lifting poles, infusion stands) are excluded from these requirements.
