5. Electromagnetic Compatibility
The information contained in this section (such as separation distances) is in general specifically written with
regard to the SonarMed AirWave. The numbers provided will not guarantee faultless operation but should provide
reasonable assurance of such. This information may not be applicable to other medical electrical equipment; older
equipment may be particularly susceptible to interference.
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this document and the
remainders of the instructions for use of this device.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
Cables and accessories not specified within the instructions for use are not authorized. Using other cables and/or
accessories may adversely impact safety, performance and electromagnetic compatibility (increased emission
and decreased immunity).
Care should be taken if the equipment is used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if adjacent or
stacked use is inevitable, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in
which it will be used.
It is intended for all qualified personnel using the SonarMed AirWave to leave the plastic surround installed
around the Monitor’s perimeter at all times.
For further details regarding EMC, please refer to the
AirWave System Set-up and Maintenance Manual
