Summary of data in accordance with EMC standard
DIN EN 60601-1-2:
Electrical medical equipment is subject to special precautionary
measures with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Such
equipment must only be installed and operated in accordance with
EMC instructions. Portable and mobile high-frequency (HF) commu-
nication devices can disrupt electrical medical equipment. Refrain
from using such communication devices or move away from the
compressor while it is in use.
Using accessories, converters and power cords other than those
specified (with the exception of converters and power cords that the
manufacturer of the medical electrical device sells as spare parts for
internal components), can result in higher emission levels or lower
the resistance to interference of the device.
The device must not be placed directly beside or on top of other
devices for operation. If the medical electrical device must be placed
beside or on top of other devices to operate it, it should be monitored
constantly to ensure that it is operating properly in the arrangement
used.
The compressor only uses HF energy for its internal function.
The HF emission from the compressor is very low. It is unlikely that
it will interfere with other electronic equipment in the vicinity.
The electrical field generated during compressor operation can
interfere with screens and monitors (flickering). For this reason, the
®
INQUA Inhalator must be placed far enough away from screens/
monitors so that image quality is not affected.
®
The INQUA Inhalator is suitable for use in all buildings, including
those used for accommodation and those that are connected
directly to a public power supply which also supplies residential
buildings.
Floors should be made from wood or concrete or covered with
ceramic tiles. If the floor is covered with a synthetic material, the
relative humidity must be at least 30%.
The quality of the supply voltage should be equal to that of a typical
residential, business or hospital environment and must match the
information on the type identification plate.
Magnetic fields for the mains frequency should correspond to the
values typically recorded in a commercial or hospital environment.
