CHAPTER 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, which are the result of operating the VIO
system.
When VIO electrosurgical units are activated, disturbance of other equipment or sys-
tems in the immediate vicinity can occur. This can be recognized as, for example, im-
age artifacts in imaging devices or unusual fluctuations in measured value displays.
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 VIO electrosurgical unit is in the non-activated state, interference with oth-
er equipment in the immediate vicinity does not occur.
CAUTION
Use of non-approved internal cables by Technical Service
This can result in the increased emission of electromagnetic waves
or reduce the immunity of the device.
The unit may fail or not perform properly.
¨
Technical Service may only use the internal cables that are listed
in the service manual for the device.
CAUTION
Stacked devices
If you stack the device next to other equipment or with other equip-
ment, the devices can affect each other.
The unit may fail or not perform properly.
¨
The device may only be stacked next to or with VIO series units.
¨
If it is necessary to operate the device near other equipment or
stacked together with other equipment, check whether the de-
vices are affecting each other: Are the devices behaving unusu-
ally? Do errors occur?
