Important information regarding Electro
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices
such as PC's 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 to
prevent unsafe product situations, the
EN60601-1-2:2007 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.
