Electromagnetic
compatibility
All the information below is based on the requirements of standards to which the manufacturers
of electrical medical devices must adhere (as stated in standard IEC 60601-1-2).
The medical device complies with the electromagnetic compatibility standards in force.
However, the user must make sure that any electromagnetic interference does not create an
additional risk, such as radio-frequency transmitters, or other electronic devices.
This chapter contains the information required for you to install and use your medical device
in optimum conditions in terms of electromagnetic compatibility.
The different medical device leads must be kept away from each other.
Sometimes mobile telecommunication devices such as mobile phones can interfere with the
medical device. The recommended separation distances in this chapter must therefore be
strictly observed.
Warning: The use of accessories of transducers and cables other than those specified or sold
by SOPRO as replacement parts, may have as a consequence an increase of emission
or decreased immunity of the medical device and result in inadequate operation.
