Appendix 1: Guidance on the Electromagnetic environment in
which to operate the instrument.
Use of portable telephones or other radio frequency (RF) emitting equipment
near the system may cause unexpected or adverse operation
The Osicus has been tested to EN60601-1-2:2015, regarding its ability to operate in an
environment containing other electrical/electronic equipment (including other medical
devices).
The purpose of this testing is to ensure that the Osicus is not likely to adversely affect the
normal operation of other such equipment and that other such equipment is not likely to
adversely affect the essential operation of the Osicus.
Despite the testing of the Osicus that has been undertaken, normal operation can be affected by
other electrical/electronic equipment and portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
As the Osicus is medical equipment, special precautions are needed regarding EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility).
It is important that the Osicus is configured and installed/put into service, in accordance with the
instructions/guidance provided herein and is used only in the configuration as supplied.
Changes or modifications to the Osicus may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity
of the instrument in relation to EMC performance.
The Osicus should be used only with the cables, accessories and transducers provided by GM
Instruments. The cables should not be extended by the user. If the cable is extended by the user,
this may result in an increased level of emissions or decreased level of immunity, in relation to
the Osicus EMC. The use of the cables, accessories and transducers with devices other than the
Osicus, may result in an increased level of emissions or decreased level of immunity, in relation
to the other device’s
EMC.
The Osicus should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use with other equipment is necessary, the Osicus and the other equipment should be
observed/monitored, to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
For the purposes of EN60601-1-2 the Osicus has an essential performance (The instrument
should not produce tones greater than 100dB unless permitted by the user).
