Wireless Footswitch and EMC 41
EMC Safety Information
The laser system (console and accessories) needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to
be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this section. Portable
and mobile RF communications equipment can affect this system.
This laser system has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices in
IEC 60601-1-2 according to the tables in this section. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this laser system not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment
and may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the laser system.
The wireless footswitch transmits and receives in the frequency range of 2.41GHz to 2.46GHz with a
limited effective radiated power as described below. The transmissions are continuous transmissions
at discrete frequencies within the transmission frequency range.
The wireless footswitch has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the wireless footswitch does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
laser system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
• Increase the separation between the equipment.
• Connect the laser console into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult IRIDEX Customer Service for help.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Réglement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.
