2.3 Radio Frequency Interference

Medical Electrical Equipment needs to be installed and used according
to the EMC information in this manual.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits
specified by IEC/EN 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide
a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a
typical home health care environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the
operation of this equipment. Use of this equipment adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment should be avoided as it could result in
improper operation. The concentrator operation should be observed
to verify normal operation in the presence of such equipment.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels
of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards. To
determine if the emissions from the concentrator are causing the
interference, turn the concentrator off. If the interference with
the other device(s) stops, then the concentrator is causing the
interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or
corrected by one of the following measures:
•
Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the
equipment.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the other device(s) is connected.
Refer to Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) in Technical Data for
additional information.
