Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

The Shuttle has been tested and is intended for safe use with other components compliant to IEC
601  standards  for  medical  devices.   The  Shuttle  can  cause  interference  with  non-601  regulated
equipment  and/or  other  non-601  regulated  equipment  can  cause  interference  with  the
Shuttle.  This section is in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 section 5.2.2.

WARNING:

Radio wave sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur

radio  (HAM)  transmitters,  two-way  radios  and  cellular  phones  can  affect  this
Shuttle.    Following  the  warnings  listed  for  electromagnetic  interference  should
reduce  the  chance  of  the  Shuttle’s  unintended  movement  that  could  result  in
serious injury.

DO NOT turn ON hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios
and cellular phones while the Shuttle is turned ON.

Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to
them.

If unintended movement occurs, turn the Shuttle OFF as soon as it is safe.

Adding accessories, components or modifying this Shuttle may make it more susceptible to
interference from radio wave sources (there is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall
immunity of the Shuttle).

Report all incidences of unintended movement to the Shuttle’s manufacturer and note whether
there is a radio wave source nearby.

CAUTION:

It is very important to read the information regarding the possible

effects of electromagnetic interference on the Shuttle.
