LECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
(EMC)
The electrical system has been designed to meet the necessary EMC requirements
(IEC 60601-1-2 standard) however it may still be affected by or emit harmful radio
frequency (RF) energy. The RF emissions from the electrical system are very low and
are not likely to cause any interference to nearby electronic equipment, however
interference to sensitive equipment is still possible. Likewise, if the immunity limits of
the electrical system are exceeded the system may be seen to operate abnormally.
Interference can be received from fixed transmitters (e.g. commercial radio and
television towers) and portable / mobile RF communications equipment (e.g. mobile
phones). Due to the increasing number of mobile phones and other wireless devices
the possibilities of interference to the electrical system and other surrounding
equipment results in the need for special precautions to be taken regarding EMC.
If the bed or any alternative equipment is found to be operating abnormally turn off
the piece of equipment that is believed to be causing the interference (if possible) to
identify the source of the RF energy. Once identified mitigation measures are to be
taken, such as the separation distances being increased and / or the device(s) being
re-orientated.
If the bed continues to operate abnormally disconnect it from the mains supply and
contact your local distributor or importer.
▪
The bed should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
medical electrical equipment, where viable. If adjacent or
stacked use is necessary, the bed and associated medical
electrical equipment should be observed to verify normal
operation - If not taken into account abnormal operation could
occur.
▪
The use of accessories and cables other than components
specified or provided by the manufacturer may increase the
electromagnetic emission of the bed and cause malfunction.
▪
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripheral
devices – such as antenna cables and external antennas) should
not be used closer than 30 cm from any part of the bed
(including cables). Otherwise, performance may be
deteriorated.
