Microbiological Formation Prevention
In order to enhance the on-site curative actions (chlorine or
thermal shock), which do not guarantee a reduction of the
contamination long term, make sure to follow the instructions
below .
Installation precautions
In order to limit the growth of bacterial flora, it is
necessary to take action at four levels:
• Avoid stagnating water and make sure proper water
circulation;
• Take precautions against the formation of scale and
corrosion based on the water quality;
• Maintain a high water temperature all the way from
the hot water dispenser to the different distribution
pipes;
• Mix hot and cold water as close as possible to the
point of use.
Use
• Make sure that the water circulates in the bath and
the shower on a daily basis even if the bathtub is not used; and particular to make sure to remove any
water that may be left behind in the hose.
• Let the water flow approximately 5 minutes before the
first bath of the day.
• Clean and disinfect the bathtub according to the IFU
before the first bath of the day and after the bath of
each patient.
Do not forget to contact ArjoHuntleigh for the annual Preventive
Maintenance visit.

IFU.
Between Patients
Clean and disinfect:
Before every use, make sure the Parker bath is cleaned and
disinfected according to section Cleaning and Disinfection
Instructions on page 28.
Every week
•Visually check exposed parts:
V isually check all exposed parts, especially where personal
contact is made by either the patient or caregiver. Make sure
no cracks or sharp edges have developed that could cause
the patient or user injury or that has become unhygienic and
can cause cross-contamination. Any use of chlorine or
alcohol can damage the bathtub and cause cracks.
•Check accessories:
Check pillows/leg rest to make sure there are no cracks or
tears that would allow water to get into the filling. If there is
such damage, replace. (See Fig. 1)
•Visually check hoses, pipes and connections:
Visually inspect for leaks of any kind by looking under the
tub. (See Fig. 2)
•Check hand control and cable:
Visually check the condition of the hand control and its
cable. Replace as per below if cut or damaged. (See Fig. 3)
The hand control can be replaced without ArjoHuntleigh
support. T o replace the hand control: Pull the cord connector
out from under the back shell located behind the back seat
area of the Parker bath. Reach in and plug in the new cord
connector of the new hand control.

•Check door/seal:
1 Open and close the door and check its supports for correct
function i.e the door should not drop by itself during
closing. Check the lock for proper function. (See Fig. 4)
2 Examine the door seal for cuts, tears or distortion.
•Perform functionality test (See Fig. 5):
1 Test all functions. Water, Air Spa system and tub
movement.
2 With water on: check shower hose and shower handle for
damage. Replace if damaged. The shower handle can be
replaced without ArjoHuntleigh support.

T o make sure that you have a problem free and safe operation, it is
recommended to have regular scheduled services with calibration
of the thermostatic mixer and thermometer by a trained
technician. Relocation of the bath, significant changes or
modifications in local water supply may require re-calibration of
the thermostatic mixing valve.
Contact your local ArjoHuntleigh service representative to sign
for a service agreement.
WARNING

Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and needs to
be used according to the EMC information below .
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the Parker bath.
WARNING
Stacking or placing other electrical equipment next to this device is not recommended, it can
interfere with the equipment’s operation and safety. Portable and mobile radio-frequency (RF)
communications equipment can interfere with this equipment operation and safety.
WARNING
The equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby
equipment. It may be necessary to take action, such as reorienting, relocating the equipment
or shielding the location.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emissions
The Parker bath is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below . The customer or the user
of the Parker bath should assure that it is used in such an environment.
Group 1The Parker bath uses RF energy only for its internal function.
Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to
cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
Class BThe Parker bath is suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that
Class A
Complies
supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

transmitters in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer and d is the recommended separation
distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey ,
a
should
be less than the compliance level in each frequency
range.
b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment
marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 - At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 - These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy . To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Parker bath is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the Parker bath should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary , such as re-orienting or relocating the Parker bath.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
59
Recommended separation dist ances between port able and mobile RF communications
equipment and the Parker bath
The Parker bath is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the Parker bath can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the Parker bath as recommended below , according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
