To prevent scalding, always check the water
temperature with your naked hand before
directing the water on the patient.
Do not use gloves as it may insulate to the
extent that the water temperature can be
misjudged. Point the flow of the water away from
the patient.
Turn on the shower water.
7Adjust the temperature and the flow of water so that it suits
the patient.
8Shower the patient. (See Fig. 1)
9After the shower, turn off the water and dry the patient.
10 Release the brakes.
11 Raise the Concerto/Basic shower trolley to an ergonomic
height and transport the patient back.
12 Disinfect Concerto/Basic shower trolley after each use to
prevent cross-contamination according to section Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions on page 34.

Battery Instructions
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury, do NOT crush,
puncture, open, dismantle or otherwise
mechanically interfere with the battery.
• Should the battery casing crack and
cause contents to come in contact with
skin or clothing, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
• If contents come in contact with the
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical attention.
• Inhalation of the contents can cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air
and medical attention.
•Be careful not to drop the battery.
•Contact the appropriate local authority for
advice when disposing of batteries.
•Check label on the battery.
Storage of Batteries
•The battery is delivered charged but we
recommend you recharge the battery when
received due to a slow self discharge.
•This battery will slowly self discharge when not
used.
•A battery not in use should be stored in a
temperature range of -0 °C (32 °F) to +30 °C
(86 °F).
Battery Service Life
Make sure to always have two well functional batteries,
one to use and one in storage.
If using a freshly charged battery and the battery
indicator starts to flash and sound after only a few
activities are carried out, it is time to order a new
battery.
NOTE
To avoid loss of operation, charge the battery
when the warning LED lamp is lit.
•
NOTE
The battery can be left in the charger unit even
if it is fully charged without being damaged.
Low Charge Warning
The low charge battery warning LED lamp is placed on
the cover of the hydraulic unit on the chassis. If the
battery is running low, the warning LED will turn
yellow when the buttons on the hand control are pushed.
The battery should then be recharged as soon as
possible.
Installation of Charger
See NCA-X000, Battery Charger IFU.
How to Change the Battery
See NCA-X000 Battery Charger IFU.
•For maximum battery performance do not store
the battery above 50 °C (122 °F).
Charging Intervals
•To prolong the life of the battery, charge it at
regular intervals, i.e. every night.
•If the Concerto shower trolley is used frequently,
it is recommended to use two batteries, one in
operation and one as a stand-by in the charger.
•It’s recommended that a battery not in use is left in
the charger. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Product has been tested for compliance with current regulatory standards regarding its capacity to block EMI
(electromagnetic interference) from external sources.
Some procedures can help reduce electromagnetic interferences:
•Use only Arjo cables and spare parts to avoid increased emissions or decreased immunity which can
compromise the correct functioning of the equipment.
•Ensure that other devices in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas comply to accepted emissions
standards.
WARNING
Wireless communications equipment such as wireless computer network devices, mobile
phones, cordless telephones and their base stations, walkie-talkies, etc. can affect this
equipment and should be kept at least 1.5m away from the equipment.
Intended Environment: Home Healthcare Environment and Professional Healthcare facility environment.
Exceptions: HF Surgical Equipment and the RF Shielded room of an ME SYSTEM for magnetic resonance imaging
WARNING
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and
the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emission
