6.3 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Special Instructions / Notes regarding the SA unit and Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing to
EN60601-1-2: 2014
The SA unit has been tested regarding its ability to operate in an environment containing other
electrical/electronic equipment (including other medical devices).
The purpose of this testing is to ensure the SA unit is not likely to adversely affect the normal
operation of other such equipment and that other such equipment is not likely to adversely affect the
normal operation of the SA unit.
Despite the testing of the SA unit that has been undertaken, normal operation of the SA unit can be
affected by other electrical/electronic equipment and portable and mobile RF communications
equipment.
As the SA unit is medical equipment, special precautions are needed regarding EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility).
It is important that the SA unit is configured and installed/put into service, in accordance with the
instructions/guidance provided herein and is used only in the configuration as supplied.
If the SA unit is used with cables / accessories other than those supplied, this may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the SA unit in relation to EMC performance.
It should be noted that cables / accessories provided with the SA unit should not be used on other
equipment. To do so may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the other
equipment in relation to EMC performance.
The SA unit should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked
use with other equipment is necessary, the SA unit and the other equipment should be
observed/monitored, to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
For the purposes of EN60601-1-2, the SA unit has no essential performance.
The user should be aware that if the SA unit is subject to electromagnetic interference in the form of
electrical fast transients/bursts (IEC61000-4-4), electrostatic discharges (IEC61000-4-2) or conducted
/ radiated RF interference (IEC 61000-4-6 / IEC61000-4-3), incorrect operation of the SA unit may
occur. This could cause the vacuum to stop
