EMC Declaration

General information

The EMC compliance of the medical device is also applicable
to the external cables, transducers, and accessories specified
in the list of accessories. In addition, accessories which do not
affect EMC compliance may be used if no other reasons forbid
their use (see other sections of the Instructions for Use). The
use of non-compliant accessories may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the medical device.
The medical device may only be used adjacent to or stacked
with other devices when the configuration is approved by
Dräger. If adjacent or stacked use of non-approved configura-
tions is inevitable, the medical device must be observed to ver-
ify normal operation in the said configuration. In any case,
strictly observe the Instructions for Use of the other devices.

Electromagnetic emissions

When using wireless networking, be aware that the system op-
erates at 2.4 GHz range. Other equipment, even if compliant
with CISPR emission requirements, could interfere with recep-
tion of wireless data. When selecting wireless systems (wire-
less communication devices, pager systems, etc.) for use in
installations where wireless networking is used, ensure that
operating frequencies are compatible. For example, selecting
wireless communication devices that operate at 2.4 GHz may
cause difficulty with the networking components. Low-level
signals such as ECG are particularly susceptible to interfer-
ence from electromagnetic energy. While the equipment
meets the testing described below, it will not ensure perfect
operation. The 'quieter' the electrical environment the better.
In general, increasing the distance between electrical devices
decreases the likelihood of interference.
