Information regarding Electromagnetic

Compatibility and Interference (EMC)

NeuroTrac

products are designed to produce very low levels of radio

frequency (RF) emissions (interference), to be immune from e

ﬀ

ects of

interference produced by other equipment operating in their vicinity

and damage due to electrostatic discharge all when operating in a

typical domestic and or clinical environment. They are certi



ed to meet

the international EMC standard EN60601-1-2. For more information

please refer to the tables 201, 202, 204 and 206.
