Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PCs and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices
in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim of preventing unsafe
product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of
immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical
devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic
fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe
situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m.
Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON HEALTHCARE EUROPE
at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
