EMC Information
WARNING
Risk of Injury or Damage
To reduce the risk of injury or product damage from interference with wireless
equipment:
- Keep the compressor at least 9.8 ft (3.0 m) away from wireless communication
equipment such as wireless home network devices, mobile phones, cordless phones
and base stations, walkie-talkies, etc.
Medical Electrical Equipment needs to be installed and used according to the EMC
information in this manual.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC
limits specified by IEC/
EN 60601-1-2 for Type BF equipment.
These limits are determined to provide reasonable
protection
against electromagnetic interference in a typical home healthcare
environment. This equipment is not intended for use in a professional healthcare
environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the
operation of this
equipment. The compressor may be stacked on top
on an Invacare HomeFill compatible
oxygen concentrator during
setup. The compressor operation should be observed to
verify
normal cylinder filling in either situation.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels
of electromagnetic
emissions permitted by the above standard. To
determine if the emissions from the
compressor are causing the
interference, turn the compressor Off. If the interference with
the
other device operation stops, then the compressor is causing the
interference. In such
rare cases, interference may be reduced or
corrected by one of the following measures:
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the devices.
• Connect either line powered device to a different electrical power circuit.
Contact Invacare for any additional EMC information or EMC tables
for the device
environment.
