Donjoy IceMan CLEAR3 - Compliance Statements; Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

12
Iceman has been tested and found to comply with the electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) limits for medical devices to IEC . These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation.
Caution: Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions
regarding EMC and must be installed and operated according to these
instructions. It is possible that high levels of radiated or conducted
radio-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) from portable and
mobile RF communications equipment or other strong or nearby
radio-frequency sources, could result in performance disruption of the
system. Evidence of disruption may include equipment ceasing to
operate, or other incorrect functioning. If this occurs, survey the site of
disruption, and take the following actions to eliminate the source(s).
• Turnequipment in the vicinity o and on to isolate disruptive
equipment.
• Relocateorreorientinterferingequipment.
• Increasedistancebetweeninterferingequipmentandyoursystem.
• Manageuseoffrequenciesclosetothesystemfrequencies.
• RemovedevicesthatarehighlysusceptibletoEMI.
• Lowerpowerfrom internal sources within the facility control (such as
paging systems).
• Labeldevices susceptible to EMI.
• EducateclinicalstafftorecognizepotentialEMI-relatedproblems.
• EliminateorreduceEMIwithtechnicalsolutions(suchasshielding).
• Restrictuseof personal communicators (cell phones, computers) in
areas with devices susceptible to EMI.
• Sharerelevant EMI information with others, particularly when
evaluating new equipment purchases which may generate EMI.
• Purchasemedicaldevices that comply with IEC  EMC
Standards (V/meter EMI immunity, limit interference level to .
V/meter).
