Information on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
Electronic devices such as PCs and mobile phones can
lead to the exposure of medical devices in operation to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. This can
lead to malfunction of the medical device and create a po-
tentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with any other
devices.
The EN 60601-1-2 standard regulates the requirements for
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and de
fi
nes the levels
of immunity to electromagnetic interference and the maxi-
mum electromagnetic emission levels for medical devices.
This blood pressure monitor, which is manufactured by
Geratherm Medical AG, complies with the EN 60601-1-2
standard in relation to both immunity and emissions.
However, special precautions should be observed:
please only use the device indoors and not in the vicinity
of mobile phones or microwave ovens. In the case of de-
vices whose maximum power exceeds 2 W, the minimum
distance from your blood pressure monitor should be 3.3
metres.
