IEC 60601-1-2
Electromedical devices are subject to special pre-
cautionary measures concerning electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and put
into operation in accordance with the EMC informa-
tion included, see page 199.
Portable and mobile RF communications equip-
ment can affect medical electrical equipment.

WARNING
Connector pins with an ESD war-
ning sign should not be touched
and no connections should be
made between these connectors
without implementing ESD protec-
tive measures. Such precautionary procedu-
res may include antistatic clothing and shoes,
the touch of a ground stud before and during
connecting the pins or the use of electrically
isolating and antistatic gloves. All staff invol-
ved in the above shall receive instruction in
these ESD precautionary procedures.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock.
Connecting devices to the
Medical Power Outlet Strip can
cause an increase in leakage
current beyond permissible
values if the protective conduc-
tor of a device fails. Check the leakage current
when connecting devices to the Medical
Power Outlet Strip. If connecting a device (or
devices) increases the leakage current to a
value which exceeds the permissible value, do
not use the auxiliary outlets of the Fabius MRI:
use a separate wall socket.
The system must meet the requirements for
medical equipment in accordance with
IEC/EN 60601-1-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2 and
the particular standards of the connected

measured values, or other parameters, may
endanger the patient.
Do not base therapy decision on individual
measured values or monitoring parameters.
