6.7. Sterile
6.8. Pacemaker
Warning for humans wearing a pacemaker.
6.8.1. PIXIUM PORTABLE EZ-C HD SERIES
• Wi-Fi
• Detector Magnets
• Backup Cable Magnets
• NFC
6.9. Degree Of Safety (Flammable Anesthetic Mixture)
The detector is delivered non sterile.
The design of the detectors is safe for humans wearing a pacemaker (assuming the pacemaker is
conform to EN 45502-2-1) when a minimum distance between the detector and the pacemaker is
respected:
• 41 cm
If no Wi-Fi is used, respect a minimum distance of 5 cm between the pacemaker and any of the 4
magnets contained in the detector (2 magnets on the connector (detector side), 2 magnets on the
backup cable interface (optional))
Respect a minimum distance of 5 cm between the pacemaker and the magnetic connector of the
backup cable.
The detector generates weak electromagnetic fields (NFC) resulting in potential interference with
pacemakers. Based on current knowledge these fields would not seem to pose a significant health
problem for the vast majority of pacemaker wearers. Still, for patients / hospital staff with
pacemakers some simple precautions might be considered to be sure that no interaction problems
occur.
• Take care to maximize NFC distance to where the pacemaker is implanted.
• The detector has possibility to disable NFC via Software if required
If any unusual symptoms are observed on pacemaker level, detector shall be removed from direct
patient surrounding.
Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with
oxygen or nitrous oxide.
