Information on electromagnetic
compatibility
General information on electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) according to international EMC
standard IEC 60601-1-2:
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special
precautionary measures concerning
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and must be
installed and put into operation in accordance with
the EMC information provided on page 593
.
Portable and mobile radio frequency
communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment.
Operating location
Only use devices (monitor, MPod, MCable, and
accessories) in areas that meet the environmental
requirements outlined in the technical data section.
WARNING
Risk of explosion
This medical device is neither approved nor
certified for use in areas where oxygen
concentrations greater than 25%
(combustible or explosive gas mixtures) are
likely to occur.
WARNING
Do not connect connectors with
an ESD warning symbol and do
not touch their pins without
implementing ESD protective
measures. Such protective
measures may include antistatic clothing and
shoes, touching a potential equalization pin
before and during connection of the pins, or
using electrically insulating and antistatic
gloves. All users concerned must be
instructed in these ESD protective measures.
WARNING
To avoid interfering with device operation, do
not operate devices (monitor, MPod, MCable,
and accessories) within equipment that emits
microwave or other high-frequency
emissions. For recommended separation
distances, see page 598.
WARNING
Make sure that the device is properly mounted
and secured to prevent injury. Make sure the
requirements for maximum load and slope of
floor are met. Consult the documentation of
the mounting manufacturer for detailed
information.
WARNING
To minimize the risk of patient strangulation,
carefully position and secure sensor cables.
Also position the sensor cables to minimize
inductive loops.
WARNING
To avoid patient injury as the result of a falling
monitor when using a rolling trolley, universal
bed hook, or handle hook mount, do not apply
excessive force to the monitor or mount when
entering or exiting elevators or passing over
thresholds and other uneven surfaces.
CAUTION
To prevent overheating, do not place the device in
direct sunlight or near radiant warmers.
CAUTION
After extended exposure in a cold environment,
acclimate the device carefully so that
condensation does not form on the electronic
parts and damage the device.
