Information regarding Electromagnetic
compatibility and interference (EMC)
Nu-Tek products are designed to produce very low levels of radio frequency
(RF) emissions (interference), to reduce the eects of interference
produced by other equipment operating in their vicinity and damage due to
electrostatic discharge all when operating in a typical domestic and or clinical
environment. They are certied to meet the international EMC standard
EN60601-1-2. For more information please refer to the tables 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The Nu-Tek Levator Elite may be subjected to Electromagnetic Interference.
Additionally, the power supplies of some notebook computers can give o
substantial amounts of interference which the device is susceptible. This can
happen when the power supply "block" has only a two pin connector
connecting it to the mains with no earth.
As a precaution, make sure that the power cable from the notebook is placed
as far away as possible from the connection wires of the device.
Try to keep the Nu-Tek Levator Elite close to the patient’s body (in the "eld"
of the patient) either on their lap, in their pocket or clipped to their belt. Keep
the electrode wires as close as possible to the patients’ body and not
dangling freely.
A relaxed muscle ideally should read below 4 microvolt (μV). If even when the
patient’s muscle is soft and relaxed to the touch, the reading is still high, try
turning o the notebooks external main power supply. (The notebook will
continue to run on its own internal battery). If the μV reading(s) suddenly
reduce(s) and then go back up after turning on the notebook power supply,
it means that and interference has occurred.
