Introduction
2002938-002E Cardiolab® II Plus Amplifier Manual 1-7
2. Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements
and tests.
Exception
ECG Parameter
IEC601-1-2 clause 36.202.1 - Immunity: Radiated Immunity –
The level of compliance is less than 1V/m
If operating under the conditions defined in EMC Standard EN60601-1-2
(Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths less than 1V/m may cause
waveform distortions and erroneous numeric data at various
electromagnetic interference (EMI) frequencies.
Recommendations:
Review the AAMI EMC Committee technical information report (TIR-18)
titled Guidance on electromagnetic compatibility of medical devices for
clinical / biomedical engineers - Part 1: Radiated radio-frequency
electromagnetic energy. This TIR provides a means to evaluate and
manage the EMI environment in the hospital.
The following actions can be taken:
managing (increasing) distance between sources of EMI and
susceptible devices
managing (removing) devices that are highly susceptible to EMI
lower power from internal EMI sources under hospital control (i.e.
paging systems)
labeling devices susceptible to EMI
educating staff (nurses and doctors) to be aware of, and to recognize,
potential EMI related problems
