8 Safety Instructions
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Note: The ICS 3000 is protected against interference due to
electromagnetic radiation, electrostatic discharge,
and other disturbances, including those associated
with electric power lines. Interference from the
ICS 3000 has also been minimized. Thus, the ICS 3000
meets the requirements of EN 60601-1-2 in every
respect.
Note: The electromagnetic compatibility of the device meets
the requirements specified in the standards. Avoid
strong electrical, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields.
However, strong electromagnetic fields can be
generated by electrical devices and lines (e.g. power
lines, electric motors, PCs, monitors, etc.) in the
immediate vicinity of ICS 3000, which impair the
functioning of ICS 3000. This could lead to an
interruption in the telemetric connection to the
implant, to an erroneous display of the ECG or IEGM,
to malfunctions in operating procedures or similar
problems. If it is not possible to switch off the
interfering device, maintain a minimum distance to
the electromagnetic environment as specified in the
appendix of this manual (see page 42).
Caution! Pay attention to the following device disturbances:
— An unexpected power-down of the device;
— Detection of spontaneous cardiac events not
displayed on the ECG/IEGM screen;
— Interference from an indeterminate source.
Action to take — Turn off the electrical device causing the
interference.
— Remove the source of the interference from the
vicinity of the ICS 3000.
— Move the ICS 3000 away from the vicinity of the
source of interference.
— Switch the ICS 3000 off and then on again.
— If the interference persists, contact BIOTRONIK or
an authorized representative.
