Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and operated according to the instructions in this
manual. For more information, see the Electromagnetic Compatibility section on page70.
To maintain electromagnetic interference (EMI) within certified limits, the BladderScan BVI9400
system must be used with the cables, components, and accessories specified or supplied
by Verathon
®
. For additional information, see the System Components & Accessories and
Component Specifications sections. The use of accessories and cables other than those specified
or supplied may result in increased emissions and decreased immunity of the system.
The BladderScan BVI9400 system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the system should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
This device can radiate radio frequency energy and is very unlikely to cause harmful interference
with other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Evidence of interference may include degradation of performance in
this device or other devices when operated simultaneously. If this occurs, try to correct the
interference by using the following measures:
• Turn devices on and off in the vicinity to determine the source of interference
• Reorient or relocate this device or other devices
• Increase the separation between devices
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different than the other device(s)
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding)
• Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601‑1‑2 EMC Standards
Be aware that portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment (cellular phones,
etc.) may affect medical electrical equipment; take appropriate precautions during operation.
CAUTION
WARNINGS
Risk of explosion. If you use the BladderScan BVI9400 in the presence of flammable
anesthetics, the hazard of potential explosion exists.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock or burns. Do not use the BladderScan instrument in conjunction with HF
surgical equipment.
