LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator Service Manual
Guidance and manufacturer's declaration - electromagnetic immunity
The LigaSure is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the
LigaSure should assure that it is used in such an environment.

Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to any
part of the LigaSure, including cables, than

Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey, should be
less than the compliance level in each
frequency range
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol:
NOTE 1:
At a 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
a.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the LigaSure is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the LigaSure should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the LigaSure.
b.
Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than 7V/m.
