The purpose of this testing is to ensure that the RP check 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 normal operation
of the RP check.
Despite the testing of the RP check that has been undertaken, normal
operation of the RP check can be affected by other electrical/electronic
equipment and portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
As the RP check is medical equipment, special precautions are needed
regarding EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).
It is important that the RP check 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 RP check may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the RP check in relation to EMC
performance.
The RP check should be used only with the cables specified by MD
Diagnostics. The cable 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 RP check EMC.
The RP check should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use with other equipment is necessary,
the RP check 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 RP check has an essential
performance (the device should not unintentionally perform a respiratory
measurement during the emc tests as this could affect the results of any
intentional measurement data and the device should function normally after
the emc tests).
