3 - Electromagnetic compatibility
Warning
Installing the DualMax requires special precautions concerning
electromagnetic compatibility according to the information contained in this
manual.
Mobile and portable RF communications equipment, such as mobile phones,
can affect the DualMax’s functioning.
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals such as
cables and external antennas) should not be used within 30 cm of any part of
DualMax, including cables specified by Instramed, Failure to do so may cause
performance degradation.
Maximum length of accessories cables - In compliance with electromagnetic
compatibility requirements:
•
ECG cable 5 leads (code 79005) 2.5 m.
•
Set of external defibrillation pads (code 79001) 2.5 m.
•
SpO2 finger sensor cable (code 12556) + SpO
2
finger cable extensor
(code 21176) 2.5 m.
•
Pacemaker cable (code 79023) 2.5 m.
Warning
Using cables, transducers and accessories different from the ones specified
above, except for the ones sold by Instramed as replacement pieces, may
result in emission increase or immunity decrease of the equipment.
The DualMax must not be used too close to or piled over other equipment.
When the equipment is used in a surgical procedure simultaneously with an
electric scalpel, there is a risk of burnouts if a defect in the connection of the
neutral electrode of the high frequency equipment matches a defect in the
DualMax's ECG socket. This type of accident will only occur when the defects
occur simultaneously, as the DualMax's ECG socket is electrically protected
against risks of burnouts, being completely insulated.
The actions to be taken to prevent adverse events to the patient and the
operator due to electromagnetic disturbances, during the useful life are:
• Ensure minimum distance, according to the table on page
Electrical immunity - General, of an RF emitting source (radio frequency).
• The cables and accessories must also keep this distance.
• Do not use this product in conjunction with electrical scalpel.
• Do not use this product in conjunction with MRI devices.
