Important electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information
Since electronic devices like PCs and mobile (cell) phones become increasingly
popular, medical equipment in use may be sensitive i.e. it interferes with
electromagnetic noise generated by other devices. Electromagnetic interference
may impair the operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe
situation.
Medical devices, in turn, should not impair the operation of other devices.
EN 60601-1-2:2015 (IEC 60601-1-2014) standard was implemented to intro-
duce EMC requirements and further prevent the emergence of unsafe situa ons
associated with the use of products. The standard speci
fi
es the levels of immu-
nity to electromagne c interference as well as the maximum levels of electro-
magne c emission as applicable to medical equipment. This device produced by
ELAMED complies with the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2015 concerning the
immunity to EM interference and emi ed radia on.
Nevertheless, some precautions should be observed, namely:
• The use of components and cables other than those supplied with the
device may result in increased emissions or malfunctions. The exception may be
parts supplied by ELAMED as spare parts.
• Make sure that the equipment operates correctly if the operating
environment differs from what specified in the tables of Annex
А
.
Special requirements to ensure electromagnetic compatibility are given in
Annex
