Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The following are guidance and manufacturer’s declarations regarding EMC for the
ACTIV.A.C. ™ Therapy Unit.
• The ACTIV.A.C. ™ Therapy Unit needs special precautions regarding EMC and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information
provided in the following pages.
This equipment is intended for use by healthcare
professionals only. As with all electrical medical equipment,
this equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt
the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to
take mitigation measures such as re-orienting or relocating
the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit or shielding the location.
• Portable and Mobile RF communications equipment, RFID readers, electronic
article surveillance (anti-theft) equipment and metal detectors can affect the
performance of the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit. Please use the guidelines and
recommendations specified in Tables 204 and 206.
• Other medical equipment or systems can produce electromagnetic emissions
and therefore can interfere with the functionality of the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy
Unit. Care should be used when operating the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit and the other equipment should
initially be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it
will be used.
• The electrical cables, external power supplies and accessories listed or
referenced in this manual have been shown to comply with the test
requirements listed in the following tables. Care should be taken to use only
manufacturer-recommended cables, power supplies and accessories with the
ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit. If a third-party supplier offers cables, external power
supplies and electrical accessories for use with the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit
and they are not listed or referenced in this manual, it is the responsibility of
that third-party supplier to determine compliance with the standards and
tests in the following tables.
• The use of electrical cables and accessories other than those specified in this
manual or referenced documents may result in increased electromagnetic
emissions from the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit.
