Revision: V
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: CONTINUED
MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF BACK SURGICAL BAR
The maximum weight capacity of each back surgical bar is 50 pounds. To prevent
personal injury to patient, do not mount equipment weighing more than 50 pounds
to device. Weight of patient plus weight of equipment should not exceed 500
pound weight capacity of TransMotion by Winco stretcher-chair.
EMI CAUTIONS
EMI MAY AFFECT CHAIR FUNCTIONALITY
Chair may be susceptible to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) caused by
electromagnetic energy emitted from various sources, such as, radio and television
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, citizen band (CB) radios, hand-held
“walkie-talkies”, security / police / fire transceivers and other communication
devices. EMI can cause chair to move by itself, or in an unintended fashion. It can
damage control system(s).
Intensity of interfering energy is measured in V/m (volts per meter). Chair can resist
EMI up to a certain intensity, called its “immunity level”. When the immunity level
is higher, the less likely EMI will interfere with chair operation. The chair has been
tested to 20 V/m immunity level, which is sufficient to provide useful protection
from common sources of radiated electromagnetic energy.
In clinical environments devices can emit electromagnetic energy which becomes
more intense as one moves closer to energy source. To reduce chance of
unintended movement or operation of chair, observe the following:
•
Be aware of nearby high-power transmitters (radio and TV stations), MRI
(magnetic resonance imaging) systems, and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance)
imaging systems. Keep chair away from these areas.
•
Do not operate hand-held transmitters near chair.
•
Do not operate chair near others using hand-held transmitters.
•
If unintended chair movement occurs, disconnect battery and move chair away
from location.
