6.3 Information about electromagnetic
compatibility
Electrical medical equipment is subject to special precautionary
measures with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Such equipment must only be installed and operated in
accordance with EMC instructions.
Portable and mobile high-frequency communication devices can
disrupt electrical medical equipment. Using accessories,
converters and power cords other than those specified, with the
exception of converters and power cords that the manufacturer
of the medical electrical device sells as spare parts for internal
components, can result in higher emission levels or lower the
resistance to interference of the device.
The device must not be placed directly beside or on top of other
devices for operation. If the medical electrical device must be
placed beside or on top of other devices to operate it, it should
be monitored constantly to ensure that it is operating properly in
the arrangement used.
