Information on electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC)
Where EMC is concerned, medical electrical equipment is subject to special safety
measures and must be installed and commissioned according to the EMC instructions
stated herein.
Guidelines for avoiding, recognizing and rectifying unwanted
electromagnetic effects on other equipment or systems, which are the
result of operating the VIO system.
When VIO electrosurgical units are activated, disturbance of other equipment or sys-
tems in the immediate vicinity can occur. This can be recognized as, for example, im-
age artifacts in imaging devices or unusual fluctuations in measured value displays.
Such disturbances from an activated electrosurgical unit can be reduced by placing it
further away and/or carrying out suitable shielding measures on the equipment or
system experiencing disturbance.
When the VIO electrosurgical unit is in the non-activated state, interference with other
equipment in the immediate vicinity does not occur.
Use of non-approved EMC-relevant accessories
This can result in the increased emission of electromagnetic interfer-
ence or reduce the electromagnetic immunity of the device.
Risk of injury to the patient.
The unit may fail or not function properly.
Only use cable that is specified in the table “EMC-relevant acces-
sories“, see chapter “Information on electromagnetic compatibil-
ity (EMC)“.
If you are using accessories from other manufacturers, check
whether the Erbe device is interfering with other devices or being
affected by interference itself. You cannot use the device if there
is any interference.
Interference with electronic equipment due to the electrosurgical
unit
The activated electrosurgical unit can affect the performance of elec-
tronic equipment by causing interference.
Risk of injury to the patient.
The equipment may fail or not perform properly.
