Electromagnetic compatibility
2.17
Medical electrical devices are subject to special precautionary
measures with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). They
must be installed and operated as specified in the document
"Installation Requirements".
Portable HF communication equipment, including accessories, should
not be used in the vicinity of the device. Non-observance can impair the
performance of the device.
Operating an HF surgical device
Treatment with HF surgical devices creates strong electromagnetic
fields, which may affect other electronic devices. Do not place external
HF surgical devices on the work surfaces of the treatment center and do
not guide the HF handpiece cable over it. Electromagnetic interference
can often be reduced by operating the external HF surgical device with
a neutral electrode.
Sivision Digital and USB interface
The presence of electromagnetic interference in the vicinity of the
treatment center may cause image degradation and interruptions in the
data transmission via the USB interface to the PC. In such cases,
repeat the image recording or other operations.
In the event of strong interference, it may be necessary to restart the
PC and treatment center. Do not use the PC for controlling other
devices that perform essential tasks.
Wireless foot control
The wireless foot control may interfere with other devices in the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz) or receive interfering signals from them. The
safe condition of the treatment center is guaranteed even if the wireless
transmission is compromised.

Electrostatic discharge

2.18
Protective measures
ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
Electrostatic discharge from people can damage electronic components
when the components are touched. Damaged components usually have
to be replaced. Repairs must be performed by qualified personnel.
Measures to protect against ESD include:
● Procedures to avoid electrostatic charging via
– air conditioning
– air humidification
– conductive floor coverings
– non-synthetic clothing
