ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility with surrounding devices should be assessed when using the device. An electronic
device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
has been performed on the device according to the international standard for EMC for medical devices (IEC 60601-
1-2). This IEC standard has been adopted in Europe as the European Norm (EN 60601-1-2).
The device should not be used adjacent to, or stacked on top of other equipment. If the device must be used adjacent
to or stacked on top of other equipment, verify that the device operates in an acceptable manner in the configuration
in which it will be used.
Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the performance of medical
equipment. See the appropriate EMC table for recommended separation distances between the radio equipment and
the device.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified by Welch Allyn may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.

RF Emissions
CISPR 11
Group 1
The equipment uses RF energy only for its internal function.
Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and not likely to cause
any interference in nearby electronic equipment.

Class A
The equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other
than domestic and those directly connected to the public low-
voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for
domestic purposes.
