The Merlin@home transmitter is not magnetic and has no moving parts.
However, you should avoid devices which generate a strong electric or
magnetic interference (EMI). EMI could interfere with the performance of the
transmitter. Moving the source of EMI away from the transmitter or turning
the source of EMI off will usually allow the transmitter to return to its normal
mode of operation. Sources of EMI may include communication equipment,
wireless communication devices, household appliances, and industrial
equipment.
• Do not press the Reset button on the back of the transmitter unless
requested to do so by Technical Support (page 6) or your clinic.
•
Use only St. Jude Medical supplied accessories in the USB port. Additional
equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the
respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing
equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the
requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16
of the 3.1Ed. of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anybody connecting additional
equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a medical system and
is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for
medical electrical systems. Attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take
priority over the above mentioned requirements. If in doubt, consult your
local representative or the technical service department.
