The Solite Pro / Solite Pro Low electrical system has been designed to meet the EMC
requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 however it may still be affected by or emit harmful
radio frequency (RF) energy. The RF emissions from the electrical system are very low
and are not likely to cause any interference to nearby electronic equipment, however
interference to sensitive equipment is still possible. Likewise if the immunity limits of
the electrical system are exceeded the system may be seen to operate abnormally.
Interference can be received from fixed transmitters (e.g. commercial radio and
television towers) and portable / mobile RF communications equipment (e.g. mobile
phones). Due to the increasing number of mobile phones and other wireless devices the
possibilities of interference to the electrical system and other surrounding equipment
results in the need for special precautions to be taken regarding EMC.
If the bed or any alternative equipment is found to be operating abnormally turn off
the piece of equipment that is believed to be causing the interference (if possible) to
identify the source of the RF energy. Once identified mitigation measures are to be
taken, such as the separation distances being increased and/or the device(s) being re-
orientated.
If the bed continues to operate abnormally turn off at the mains supply and contact
Sidhil Ltd. or your local distributor (see section 2).
17. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Warning
The bed should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other medical
electrical equipment, where viable. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the bed and associated medical electrical equipment should
be observed to verify normal operation - If not taken in to account
abnormal operation could occur.
