Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Definition: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability to function without
causing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices or systems, as
well as to a certain level of immunity to EMI from other devices or systems.
Observe the following precautions to ensure EMC.
WARNING:
16. Remove the ECG electrodes from the patient before using
devices such as electric scalpels, high-frequency therapy
equipment, electrostimulators, or electric defibrillators.
In addition, when using such devices, do not let
ultrasound transducers, PCG microphones, or pulse wave
sensors to come into contact with the patient. Doing so
may result in the patient receiving a burn injury or an
electric shock.
