EMC Details
Medical electrical devices such as the Endomed 182 are subject to special precautions with
regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and commissioned in
accordance with the EMC advice given in the instructions for use.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because
it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the
manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm to any part of the Endomed 182,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
The Endomed 182 should only be operated with the original power cable specified in the list
of contents delivered. Operating the device with any other power cable can lead to increased
emissions or reduced interference immunity of the device.
The Endomed 182 is classified as a Group 1, Class B device according to CISPR 11.
The Endomed 182 is suitable for use in a professional healthcare facility environment. The device
uses RF energy solely for its internal functioning. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are
not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
The Endomed 182 has been tested according to the 60601-1-2 standard by an accredited lab and
found to be compliant for each emissions and immunity standard or test.
