Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC Warnings
Electromagnetic compatibility – general
LINAK
®
actuator systems bear the CE marking as an attestation of compliance with the EMC Directive
2014/30/EU. The systems are designed to meet all requirements of applicable standards and have
been tested to meet IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.
Emission:
LINAK Actuator Systems are CISPR 11, Group 1, Class B products, comply with IEC 61000-3-2, Class
A and IEC 61000-3-3 unless stated otherwise in the relevant section of this document.
Immunity:
Test levels are according to Professional Healthcare Facility and Home Healthcare Facility Environment.
Electromagnetic phenomena are evaluated on a system level, with the actuator connected to a LINAK
control box and accessories.
LINAK always recommends to perform verification tests on the final medical device.
Electromagnetic compatibility – third party components
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified by LINAK could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the actuator system
and result in improper operation.
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment in general
Use of the actuator system adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided as
this could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, the actuator system and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating properly.
If the user notes unusual behavior of the actuator system, in particular if such behaviour is
intermittent and associated with the standing right next to mobile phones, microwaves and radio
broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference.
If such behaviour occurs, try to move the actuator system further away from the interfering
equipment.
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment, RF communications
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used at a distance no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the actuator
system. This also applies to cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, a performance
degradation of this equipment could result.
