Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
3.1
General information
claros pico is a class A device in accordance with CISPR 11 and is intended for use by medical specialists only. claros
pico is intended for use in settings other than residential settings; the typical electromagnetic environment is that of a
hospital, clinic or doctor's surgery.
3.2
Installation and operation
Electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. In order to prevent malfunctions in the claros pico system,
electrostatic charges created by the operator should be prevented by means of ESD protective measures (use of anti-
static materials).
In order to prevent disruptions due to electrostatic discharges, the floors should be made of wood or concrete or
covered with ceramic tiles. If the floor is covered with synthetic materials, the relative humidity must be no lower than
40%.
Operators should be familiar with the basic physical processes behind electrostatic charges and how to prevent them.
The claros pico system uses RF energy for its own operation only. The amount of radio frequency interference emitted
is therefore very low and is unlikely to disturb other devices being operated in the vicinity. Nevertheless, it should be
noted that simultaneous operation of the claros pico system together with other devices may result in interference in
the claros pico system or other devices. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that the claros pico system is not
positioned directly next to or above another electronic device.
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the claros pico system in the immediate vicinity of analogue medical
measurement devices, the user of these measurement devices must be made aware that device results should be
observed in order to monitor intended device use in the position selected.
