stacked use is necessary, observe the system to verify normal operation in the configuration in
which it will be used.
This device can radiate radio frequency energy and is highly unlikely to cause harmful
interference with other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. Evidence of interference may include degradation of
performance in this device or other devices when operated simultaneously. If this occurs, try to
correct the interference by using the following measures:
• Turn devices on and off in the vicinity to determine the source of interference
• Reorient or relocate this device or other devices
• Increase the separation between devices
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different than the other device(s)
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding)
• Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601‑1‑2 EMC standards
Be aware that portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment (cellular phones,
etc.) may affect medical electrical equipment; take appropriate precautions during operation.
