12 EMC and HF technical review
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and must be installed and
put into service according to the EMC specifications provided in this section.
• The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the
exemption of transducers and cables sold by the manufacturer of the system as
replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the equipment or system.
• The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the incubator should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
12.1 Electromagnetic emissions
The below table contains the applicable information required for CISPR11 systems:
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emissions
The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator is intended for use in the home healthcare environment
specified below. The customer or the user of the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator should
assure that it is used in such an environment.

Conducted emission
EN/CISPR 11:2010
The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator uses RF energy only for
its internal functions. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low
and not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic
equipment. The risk of causing undesirable effects on the
operator or other personnel close to the incubator is negligible.
The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator is suitable for use in all
establishments, including domestic establishments and those
directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network
that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
