Electromagnetic
compatibility
declaration
Medical equipment needs special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service according
to the EMC information provided in this document.
WARNING: The V60/V60 Plus Ventilator may cause radio interference or may disrupt
the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation
measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the ventilator or shielding
the location.
WARNING: Use portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such
as antenna cables and external antennas) no closer than 30 cm (12 in.)
from any part of the ventilator system, including cables specified for use
with the ventilator. Otherwise, equipment performance can be degraded. If
higher immunity test levels than those specified in IEC 60601-1-2:2014,
Table 9, are used, the minimum separation distance may be lowered.
Lower minimum separation distances shall be calculated using the
equation specified in chapter 8.10 of the standard.
WARNING: This equipment is designed to comply with IEC 60601-1-2. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with instructions, may cause
harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Harmful interference to other devices can be determined by turning this
equipment on and off. Try to correct the interference using one or more of
the following:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
- Increase the separation between the equipment.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that to
which the other devices are connected and contact Philips Service for
help.
