ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY (EMC)
When using the patient monitor, assess the electromagnetic compatibility with surrounding devices.
An electronic device may either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) has been performed on the bedside monitor according to the international standard for EMC
for medical bedside monitors (IEC 60601-1-2). This IEC standard has been adopted in Europe as the European
Norm (EN 60601-1-2).
The patient monitor should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If the patient monitor is
used in this manner, verify the patient monitor operates in an acceptable manner in the configuration in which it
will be used.
Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment may affect the performance of medical
equipment. See Table X-4 for recommended separation distances between the radio equipment and the patient
monitor.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified by Mortara Instrument may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.
