12 INFORMATION ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
(EMC)
Where EMC is concerned, medical electrical equipment is subject to special safety measures
and must be installed and commissioned according to the EMC instructions stated herein.
Guidelines for avoiding, recognizing, and rectifying unwanted electromagnetic
effects on other equipment or systems that are the result of operating the ICC
electrosurgical unit.
When ICC electrosurgical units are activated, disturbance of other equipment or sys-tems in the
immediate vicinity can occur. This can be recognized as, for example, image artifacts in imaging
devices or unusual fluctuations in measured value dis-plays.
Such disturbances from an activated electrosurgical unit can be reduced by placing it further away
and/or carrying out suitable shielding measures on the equipment or system experiencing
disturbance.
When the ICC electrosurgical unit is in the non-activated state, interference with other equipment
in the immediate vicinity does not occur.
ATTENTION
The use of internal cables other than those specified in the Service Manual may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.
ATTENTION
The equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with equipment, other than with that
which is intended for this purpose. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the entire system
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
