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 elec-
tromagnetic 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 elec-
tromagnetic 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, micro-
wave 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 potentially
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.
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.
12 Safety Information
User Manual
The aspects of electromagnetic compatibility must be considered.
• The Vivo 3 should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Vivo 3 should be observed to verify nor-
mal operation in that configuration.
• Mobile or transportable radio transmitters may interfere with the Vivo 3.
• Further guidance for safe installation of the ventilator can be found in the chap-
ter about emission and immunity declaration.
If a portable AC power supply is used, make sure that the voltage variations are
within the operating limits of the Vivo 3.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the Vivo 3, including cables specified. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
