EMI (Electro-magnetic Interference)
CAUTION: This device has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for medical devices to the IEC 60601-1-2, EN60601-1-2, and the
Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
typical medical installation.
However, because of the proliferation of radio - frequency transmitting
equipment and other sources of electrical noise in health care
environments (for example, electrosurgical units, cellular phones, mobile
two
- way radios, electrical appliances, and high - definition television), it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or
strength of a source may result in disruption of performance of this
device.
