Important information regarding Electro Magn etic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular)
telephones, medical devices in use may be s usceptible to electromagnetic
interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in
incorrect operation of the medical devi ce 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 E N60601-1-2:2007 standard has
been implemented. This standard def ines the levels of immunity to
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
This medical device m anufactured by OMRON HEAL THCARE conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard fo r both immunity and em issions.
Nevertheless, special pr ecautions need to be observed:
• Do n ot use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices , which generate strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in
incorrect operation of the device and create a pot entially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. V erif y correct operation
of the d evice in case the distance is shorter .
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at
OMRON HEAL THCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction
manual.
