SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – CONTINUED
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
USE FACTORY APPROVED BATTERIES ONLY
Use of non-factory approved batteries will void all warranties and could result in unsatisfactory performance
and/or damage.
USE CAUTION WHEN STORING OXYGEN CYLINDER UNDER CHAIR
To prevent severe gas leakage or rupture of compressed gas cylinder, when placing cylinder under chair, ensure
adequate clearance between cylinder and its attached gas equipment (i.e. regulator, gauges, fittings, knobs) and
all adjustable chair sections and/or features (i.e. seat, back, leg, rails, actuators).
To prevent fire and/or explosive hazard, do not leave chair (and stowed oxygen equipment) near heat source.
To prevent gas equipment damage during transport, ensure cylinder sets in cradle properly and strap
mechanisms are secured tightly. Chair is intended to accommodate up to an E-size cylinder (4 3/8” outer
diameter x 25” length).
DO NOT PLACE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT ON ENDS
Position patient’s body weight uniformly over the patient surface. Use caution when shiing patient’s body
weight towards either end of the Procedure-Chair. Excessive weight on either end of the device could cause the
Procedure-Chair to become unstable.
Do not sit or stand on the ends of the Procedure-Chair. Instruct patients to not stand on footrest during egress or

CAUTIONS
DO NOT MODIFY CHAIR
Modifying chair can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to patient, medical personnel, or
bystander. Modifying chair will void warranty and may cause unsafe operating conditions.
USE SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES
Prior to operating chair, ensure patient clearance by moving any overhanging equipment or moving chair from
under a table to prevent patient injury.
TMM3 must be at least 20" from nearest wall or obstruction to allow for full range of activation.
Leave chair in lowest position whenever possible. This practice will decrease potential injury during an
unsupervised patient egress from chair.
Prior to patient transport in chair, raise side rails and ensure latching mechanism is in locked position. Medical
personnel must determine degree of restraint needed to ensure patient’s safety during transport.
To prevent personal injury to medical personnel and/or patient, ensure the back extension is properly installed
and securely engaged prior to transporting patient/ chair, and prior to use of IV system.
For “F” Option Only: Since footrest is foldable (not locked in position), ensure protection of patient’s feet while
moving chair in close quarters (i.e. elevators, crowded hallways, procedure rooms).
INSPECT AND CLEAN CHAIR REGULARLY
Inspect cushions aer each use. Discontinue use if upholstery is ripped, cut, or torn, which could allow fluids
to enter cushion. This practice will prevent infection of patients and medical personnel and contamination of
medical equipment.
Do NOT use machine/pressure/power wash procedures on chair. Aer each use in a clinical setting, hand wash
all patient-contact surfaces (i.e. cushions, rails) and plastic base cover with warm water and mild detergent.
For “A” Option Only: For large fluid spills on chair, immediately unplug chair from AC wall outlet.
PLUG CHAIR INTO PROPERLY GROUNDED WALL OUTLET MARKED “HOSPITAL ONLY” OR “HOSPITAL
GRADE”
For “A” Option Only: Chair is equipped with hospital-grade three-prong plug for protection against electric shock
and must be plugged into properly grounded hospital-grade wall outlet.
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 Champion Procedure-Chair.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
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 and 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 certified to IEC 60601-1-2 Ed 4.1 Electromagnetic Disturbances – Requirements
And Tests.
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.
