Electromagnetic compatibility 8
To ensure the safe operation of your device or system, be sure to observe the operating
manual for your device or system, the information in the chapter "Safety" and the following
additional guidelines and safety precautions.
The device or system complies with the EMC requirements of the international standard
IEC 60601-1-2:2001 and is suitable for use in an environment with a medical application.
Information for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility
- All data and signal cables must have sufficient shielding. Use of unshielded oder badly shielded
cables may lead to increased emission of interference and/or reduced fault-tolerance of the device.
- All casing covers must be properly secured.
- Portable and mobile wireless communication devices such as mobile phones may influence medical
electrical devices. It is imperative that you observe the safety distances given below.
- Protect the contacts of all sockets and plugs of the device or system against static electricity. Avoid
touching contacts. Should touching be unavoidable, take the following safety measures:
Touch an earthed object before touching the contacts. This discharges static charges.
or
Wear an earthing strap.
- Use only the cables supplied when connecting peripheral devices.
- Each peripheral device you want to connect must comply with the requirements for use in an
environment with a medical application.
- Install only system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety and
electromagnetic compatibility. If you install other expansions, you may damage the device or
system or violate the safety regulations and regulations governing RFI suppression.
The effects of static electricity, fast transients or strong electromagnetic fields on the device
or system can cause malfunctions.
