Electromagnetic Interference

Revision C
Safety: Monitor Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions
This device has been tested and found to comply with the Medical Electrical
Equipment-General Requirements for Safety-Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic
Compatibility, EN60601-1-2:2001, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. These
limits are 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 the health-care and home environments (e.g.
cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances), it is possible that
high levels of such interference due to proximity or strength of a source, may result
in disruption of performance of this device.
Refer to the Electromagnetic Immunity information in this product's service manual
for EN 60601-1-2 (2001) compliance information and safety information for this
product.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful
interference with other devices in the vicinity. Disruption or interference may be
evidenced by erratic readings, cessation of operation, or incorrect functioning. If this
occurs, the use site should be surveyed to determine the source of this disruption,
and actions should be taken to eliminate the source.
The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate the offending
equipment.
Reorient or relocate the other receiving device.
Increase the separation between the interfering equipment and this
equipment.
