Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular)
telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result
in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe
situation.Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007
standard has been implemented. This standard de¿ nes the levels of immunity
to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by your local OMRON representative
conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate
strong electrical or electromagnetic ¿ elds, near the medical device. This may
result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct
operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available within
this manual, refer to section "Manufacturer's Declaration".
