22. Correct Disposal of this Product
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE Directive) aims to minimise the impact of
electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by
increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the
amount of WEEE going to landfill. It seeks to achieve
this by making producers responsible for financing
the collection, treatment, and recovery of waste
e
lectrical equipment, and by obliging distributors to
allow consumers to return their waste equipment free
of charge.

goods therefore we have registered our
business with the Government Environment Agency

23. EMC Declaration
With the increased number of electronic devices such
as PC’s and mobiles, medical devices in use may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference from
t
hese devices. Which may result in incorrect operation
of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe
situation. Medical devices should also not interfere
with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC with the
aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-
1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard
defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interfer-
ences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
Medical devices manufactured by Haag-Streit UK Ltd
conform to this EN60601-1-2 standard for both immuni-
ty and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
The use of accessories and cables other than those
specified by Haag-Streit UK Ltd, with the exception of
cables sold by Haag-Streit UK Ltd as replacement
parts for internal components, may result in increased
emission or decreased immunity of the device.
The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use
is unavoidable, the medical device should be seen to
operate normally as it should in this situation.
Further guidance regarding the EMC environment
(in accordance with EN60601-1-2) in which the device
should be used is available at www.haag-streit-uk.com
