Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
Where EMC is concerned, medical electrical units are subject to special safety mea-
sures and must be installed and commissioned according to the EMC notes stated
herein.
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 unit.
Risk of injury to patient and medical personnel.
Units may fail or not function properly.
Only use cable that is specified in the table "EMC-relevant acces-
sories", see chapter "Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)".
If you are using accessories from other manufacturers, check
whether the Erbe unit is interfering with other units or being af-
fected by interference itself. You cannot use the unit if there is any
interference.
Stacked units
If you place the unit next to or stack it with other units, the units may
affect each other.
Risk of injury to patient and medical personnel.
Units may fail or not function properly.
Place the unit where possible only near Erbe units or stack the
unit where possible only on Erbe units.
If it is necessary to operate the unit near or stacked together with
units from other manufacturers, keep as much distance as possi-
ble between the units. Check whether the units are affecting each
other: Are the units behaving unusually? Are faults occurring? If
yes, increase the distance between the units.
Interference with the unit from portable and mobile HF telecom-
munications units (e.g. mobile phones, WLAN units)
Electromagnetic waves emitted by portable and mobile HF telecom-
munications units may affect the unit.
Risk of injury to the patient.
The unit may fail or not perform properly.
