Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and operated according to the instructions in this
manual. For more information, see the “Electromagnetic Compatibility” section.
This device can radiate radio frequency energy and is very unlikely to cause harmful interference
with other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Evidence of interference may include degradation of performance in this
device or other devices when operated simultaneously. To correct interference, use the following
measures:
• Turn devices on and off in the vicinity to determine the source of interference.
• Reorient or relocate this device or other devices.
• Increase the separation between devices.
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different than the other device(s).
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding).
• Purchase medical devices that comply with the IEC 60601‑1‑2 standard.
• Be aware that portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment (cellular
phones, etc.) may affect medical electrical equipment; take appropriate precautions during
operation.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause device damage not covered by the warranty:
• Do not immerse any system component in cleaning or disinfectant solution or other liquids.
• Do not subject any system component to steam, ethylene oxide, radiation, or similar methods
of sterilization or autoclaving.
• Do not use metal or abrasive brushes. These may scratch a component of the system, causing
permanent damage.
