Information

Electronic components and semiconductors can be destroyed by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). In particular, components made
with metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) can be damaged from
direct or indirect discharges. Damage caused by ESD may not be
immediately identifiable, and malfunctions can even occur after a
longer period of operation.

Exceeding and / or repeating the test level attained in guidance &
manufacturer's declaration on EMC may permanently damage
the device and / or cause serious malfunctions (for example, loss
of communication and system failures).
The following environmental conditions related to electrostatic sensitive
components (ESD standards) must be observed:

Floors coated with wood, tiles or concrete

Relative humidity of at least 30%
If it is not possible to guarantee this environment, the following additional
precautions must be taken:

Use of anti-static equipment

Preliminary user discharge (explained below)

Anti-static clothing
The best precaution is preliminary user discharge on a grounded metal
object such as a rail, a pole or a metal part located at the rear of
Agilia pump.
For maintenance operation performed on Agilia pump, place the device
on a conductive working surface, and wear a special ESD conductive
wristband.
Agilia pump has been tested in accordance with the electromagnetic
compatibility standards applicable to medical devices. Its immunity is
designed to ensure correct operation. Limitation of the emitted radiation
avoids undesirable interference with other equipment.
Agilia pump is classified as a Class B device according to CISPR 11
emitted radiation. The user might be required to take mitigation
measures, such as relocating or reorienting the equipment.
