Patient environment information
Patient environment is the area where patients can come into contact
with any part of a medical electrical equipment (ME equipment) or with
another person being in contact with the ME equipment. In the patient
environment, use devices that conform to IEC 60601-1. If a multiple
power socket is to be used, or if a device is to be used that does not meet
the IEC 60601-1 standard, use an isolating transformer.
Information about the operation of an ME system
The Easyfield® and a connected computer form a medical
electrical system (ME system) according to DIN EN 60601-1. If you
connect additional devices, such as, for example a printer, those devices
become part of the ME system.
Make sure that all devices of the ME system meet the requirements of
IEC 60601-1 or IEC 60950-1
