Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.”
The use of Accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers and
cables sold by the Manufacturer of this device as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased
Emissions or decreased Immunity of the Bulldog.
The Bulldog should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the Bulldog
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration –electromagnetic emissions
The Bulldog is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Bulldog should assure that it
is used in such an environment.
Emissions test
Compliance
Electromagnetic environment – guidance
RF emissions
CISPR 11
Group 1
The Bulldog uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF
emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment.
RF emissions
