Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Special Instructions / Notes regarding the SAM e.p.s and Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing to
EN60601-1-2: 2007
The SAM e.p.s has been tested regarding its ability to operate in an environment containing other
electrical/electronic equipment (including other medical devices).
The purpose of this testing is to ensure the SAM e.p.s is not likely to adversely affect the normal operation of
other such equipment and that other such equipment is not likely to adversely affect the normal operation of
the SAM e.p.s.
Despite the testing of the SAM e.p.s that has been undertaken, normal operation of the SAM e.p.s can be
affected by other electrical/electronic equipment and portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
As the SAM e.p.s is medical equipment, special precautions are needed regarding EMC (electromagnetic
compatibility).
It is important that the SAM e.p.s is configured and installed/put into service, in accordance with the
instructions/guidance provided herein and is used only in the configuration as supplied.
If the SAM e.p.s is used with cables / accessories other than those supplied, this may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the SAM e.p.s in relation to EMC performance.
It should be noted that cables / accessories provided with the SAM e.p.s should not be used on other
equipment. To do so may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the other equipment in
relation to EMC performance.
The SAM e.p.s should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use
with other equipment is necessary, the SAM e.p.s and the other equipment should be observed/monitored, to
verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
For the purposes of EN60601-1-2, the SAM e.p.s has no essential performance.
The user should be aware that if the SAM e.p.s is subject to electromagnetic interference in the form of
electrical fast transients/bursts (IEC61000-4-4), electrostatic discharges (IEC61000-4-2) or conducted / radiated
RF interference (IEC 61000-4-6 / IEC61000-4-3), incorrect operation of the SAM e.p.s may occur. This is likely
to include the SAM e.p.s's LED's extinguishing unexpectedly, or could cause the vacuum to stop. To correct
this condition, a mains power reset may be required.
Guidance and manufacturer's declaration – electromagnetic emissions
The SAM e.p.s is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the
SAM e.p.s should assure that it is used in such an environment.

Electromagnetic environment - guidance
The SAM e.p.s uses RF energy only for its internal function.
Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely
to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
The SAM e.p.s is suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply
network that supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes
