GENERAL WARNING
Important information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). As the
number of electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones
in the room increases, medical devices can become sensitive to
the electromagnetic influences of other devices. Electromagnetic
interference can cause medical devices to malfunction, which can
potentially lead to dangerous situations. Furthermore, medical devices
must not interfere with other devices. The IEC/EN 60601-1-2 standard
was introduced due to the necessity to establish electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) requirements for the prevention of dangerous
situations in the use of medical devices. The standard defines the level
of resistance to electromagnetic interference for medical devices. This
medical device is compliant with the IEC/EN 60601-1-2 standard in terms
of resistance to electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic
emissions. Nevertheless, do not use mobile phones and similar devices
which create strong electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the device.
This can cause the device to malfunction, which can potentially cause
a dangerous situation.
The AC/DC power supply must be connected to an easily accessible
socket (the AC/DC power supply also serves for galvanic isolation).
The MESI ABI must not be used in an oxygen-rich environment.
When repeating the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index measurement or
blood pressure measurement for several times a slight pain may
appear at the measurement location. Other eects are excluded.
WARNING: Use of accessories and cables other than those specified
or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas should be used no closer than
30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If
such use is necessary, this equipment should be observed to verify
that they are operating normally.
