APPENDIX C
Electromagnetic compatibility
Piccolo has been thoroughly tested and respects the limits for electro-medical
devices specified by IEC 60601-1-2 standards. These limits ensure
reasonable protection against hazardous interference in typical medical
installations.
The instrument generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy. If not
installed and used according to the instructions in this manual, it may interfere
with other nearby devices. No guarantee is given that interference will not
occur under certain conditions.
This instrument is suitable for use in professional healthcare facility
environment, i.e. in hospital environments, except for near active HF surgical
equipment and RF shielded rooms of systems for magnetic resonance
imaging, where the intensity of electromagnetic disturbance is high.
Piccolo should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, Piccolo should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it
will be used.
The existence of electromagnetic interference can be verified easily by
switching the instrument off and back on again. If it is proven that the device
is indeed interfering with other devices, try to solve the problem by adopting
one of the following solutions:
- change the orientation and/or position of the affected device;
- move the two devices further away from each other;
- contact the manufacturer or authorised service organisation for
further assistance.
