This equipment complies with International Standard EN 60601-1-2:2001 for electromagnetic compatibility for
medical electrical equipment and/or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency
transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible
that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance
of this device. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be
installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified in this manual.
