IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic
interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and
create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices. In order to
regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the
aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the IEC60601-1-2 standard has
been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
Medical devices manufactured by Roscoe Medical, Inc. conform to this
IEC60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions. Refer to EMC
table guidance supplied in this manual regarding the EMC environment in
which the device should be used.
Special precautions need to be observed:
• The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by
Roscoe Medical may result in increased emission or decreased immunity
of the device.
• Care must be taken when operating this device adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment. Potential electromagnetic or other interference
could occur to this or other equipment. Try to minimize this interference
by not using other equipment in conjunction with it.
• The performance of the device was determined to be essential
performance. This device has been thoroughly tested according to tested
and inspected to assure proper performance and operation.
