16.1 Safety instructions
16.1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures
concerning electromagnetic compatibility. During installation and before initial
operation, follow the information in section: "EMC declaration" (page 291).
Electrostatic discharge
Measures to protect from electrostatic discharge must be adhered to when handling
components carrying the ESD warning symbol. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur
which could put the patient at risk.
To prevent malfunctions, observe the following measures and train the relevant
personnel:
► Observe the ESD protective measures, e.g.:
– Wear antistatic clothes and shoes.
– Use gloves that are electrically insulating and antistatic.
– When establishing connections, touch a potential equalization pin.
► Observe the requirements for the electromagnetic environment. Observe the
following section: "Electromagnetic environment" (page 292).
Electromagnetic disturbances
Wireless communication devices (e.g., cellular phones) and medical electrical
equipment (e.g., defibrillators, electrosurgical devices) emit electromagnetic
radiation. When such devices are operated too close to this device or its cables, the
functional integrity of this device may be compromised by electromagnetic
disturbances. As a result, the patient could be put at risk.
► Maintain a distance of at least 0.3 m (1.0 ft) between this device and wireless
communication devices, to ensure that the essential performance of this device
is fulfilled.
► Maintain an adequate distance between this device and other medical electrical
equipment.
Magnetic fields can adversely affect the functional integrity of the medical device
and thus put the patient or user at risk.
► Do not use the medical device in rooms where devices for magnetic field
applications are used (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging).
The medical device meets the applicable limit values for electromagnetic fields. The
functioning of pacemakers can nevertheless be impaired by emissions.
► All wearers of pacemakers should maintain a distance of at least 25 cm (10 in)
between pacemaker and medical device.
