Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures concerning electromagnetic
compatibility. During installation and before initial operation, follow the information in section: "EMC
declaration for M300+" (page 39).
This device can be affected by other electrical devices.
WARNING
Risk due to electrostatic discharge
Malfunctions that endanger the patient may occur if no protective measures against electrostatic
discharge are employed in the following situations:
– When touching the pins of connectors that carry the ESD warning symbol.
– When establishing connections with these connectors.
To prevent malfunctions, observe the following measures and train the relevant personnel:
– Observe the ESD protective measures. Such measures may include wearing antistatic cloth-
ing and shoes, touching a potential equalization pin before and while making the connection,
or using electrically insulating and antistatic gloves.
– Observe the requirements for the electromagnetic environment. Observe the following sec-
tion: "Electromagnetic environment" (page 39).
WARNING
Risk due to electromagnetic disturbance
Wireless communication devices (e.g., cellular phones) and medical electrical equipment (e.g.,
defibrillators, electrosurgical devices) emit electromagnetic radiation. When such devices are
operated too close to this device or its cables, the functional integrity of this device may be
compromised by electromagnetic disturbances. As a result, the patient could be put at risk.
Maintain a distance of at least 0.3 m (1.0 ft) between this device and wireless communication
devices, to ensure that the essential performance of this device is fulfilled.
Maintain an adequate distance between this device and other medical electrical equipment.
