Reducing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
WARNING:
Keep patients under close surveillance when monitoring. It is possible, although
unlikely, that radiated electromagnetic signals from sources external to the patient
and the monitoring system can cause inaccurate measurement readings.
WARNING:
Any radio frequency transmitting equipment or other nearby sources of electrical
noise may result in disruption of the monitoring system.
WARNING:
Large equipment using a switching relay for its power on/off may affect monitoring
system operation. Do not operate the monitoring system in such environments.
WARNING:
The monitoring system is designed for use in environments in which the signal can
be obscured by electromagnetic interference. During such interference,
measurements may seem inappropriate or the monitoring system may not seem to
operate correctly.
Caution:
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices
related to IEC 60601-1-2: 2007 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical
installation.
Because of the proliferation of radio frequency transmitting equipment and other
sources of electrical noise in health care environments (for example, electrosurgical
units, cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances, and high-defini-
tion television), it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close prox-
imity or strength of a source may result in disruption of monitoring system
performance.
Disruption may be evidenced by erratic readings, cessation of operation, or other
incorrect functioning. If this occurs, survey the site of use to determine the source of
this disruption, then take the appropriate actions to eliminate the source.
•
Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate the offending equipment.
•
Reorient or relocate the interfering equipment.
