Arjo Sara Flex - Electromagnetic Compatibility

40
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Sara Flex has been tested for compliance with current regulatory standards regarding its capacity to block
EMI (electromagnetic interference) from external sources. Nonetheless, some procedures can help reduce
electromagnetic interferences:
• Ensure that other devices in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas comply to accepted
emissions standards.
• Maximize the distance between electro-medical devices. High-powered devices may produce EMI
that can affect the lift.
For more information on how to manage the unit’s RF electromagnetic environment, please consult
the AMI TIR 18-1997 - Guidance on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Medical Devices for Clinical/
Biomedical Engineers.

Arjo could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
WARNING
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING
The equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby
equipment. It may be necessary to take action, such as reorienting, relocating the
equipment or shielding the location.
