the patient to move away from the source of the EMI.
Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed
and put into service according to EMC information provided. This declaration applies for the
following devices:
•
RNS
®
Neurostimulator, model RNS-300M.
•
Programmer, model PGM-300.
•
Wand, model W-02.
•
Remote Monitor, models DTR-300 and DTR-300-E.
The devices comply with IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14708-3, and FCC 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15.
•
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the devices.
•
This equipment/system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of
nearby equipment. The devices may be interfered with by other equipment, even if that
other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. It may be necessary to
take mitigation measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the devices or shielding their
location.
Emissions and Immunity Information
The programmer with wand are designed for use in a medical environment by a trained
healthcare professional. The remote monitor with wand are designed for use in the home by a
patient. The devices are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or user of the system should assure they are used in such an environment.
Note:
Unless otherwise indicated in the table footnotes, emissions testing information in the
