Electromagnetic Compatibility And Electrostatic Discharge (Emc And Esd); Environment - Warnings And Precautions - Breas Vivo 3 Clinician Manual

2.2.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrostatic Discharge (EMC and
ESD)
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by
Breas could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Electromagnetic disturbance may impair the safety and performance of the Vivo 3. The
electromagnetic field levels at the Vivo 3 should not exceed 20 V/m.
Unsteady indicated values for delivered volumes or pressures and the occurrence of
alarm conditions without apparent cause may be an indication of loss of performance
due to electromagnetic disturbances.
Measures for keeping electromagnetic field levels low should include but are not be
limited to:
• Normal precautions with regard to relative humidity and conductive characteristics
of clothing in order to minimize the build-up of electrostatic charges.
• Avoiding the use of radio emitting devices (e.g. cellular or cordless telephones,
microwave ovens and high-frequency surgery apparatus) closer than 1 meter to the
Vivo 3.
• Avoiding the use of known sources of Electromagnetic Interference, (e.g. RFID, dia-
thermy equipment), in the presence of the Vivo 3.
Please note some of these RF emitters may not be visible and the Vivo 3 can poten-
tially be exposed to fields from these RF emitters without the user's awareness. If
abnormal performance of the Vivo 3 is observed, and the RF emitters cannot be
identified and removed, the Vivo 3 may need to be reoriented or relocated.
See the section Emission and Immunity Declaration for detailed information and further
guidance for mitigating electromagnetic disturbance.
2.3 Environment — Warnings and Precautions
WARNING!
Risk of Intoxication
Do not use the Vivo 3 in a toxic environment.
Risk of Faulty Treatment
If a room humidifier is used, place it at least 2 meters away from the Vivo 3.
