8 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

8.1 General hints

The installation and use of this electrical medical device requires
special precautionary measures as outlined in the EMC information
below.
This device complies with the limits set for medical electrical devices of group 1,
class B (as per EN 60601-1-2).
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes a device's ability to perform reliably
within an electromagnetic environment without causing inadmissible electromagnetic
interference at the same time. Amongst other things, such disturbances may be
emitted by connecting cables or the air.
Inadmissible disturbances from the environment may result in incorrect displays,
inaccurate measured values or incorrect behaviour of the medical device. By the
same token the medical device may in some cases cause such disturbances in other
devices. To eliminate problems of that kind, we recommend you to take one or
several of the measures listed below:
• Change the alignment or distance of the device to the source of EMI.
• Install or use the floor scales MPC/MPE at a different location.
• Connect the floor scales MPC/MPE to a different power source.
• For further questions please contact our customer services.
Disturbances may be caused by improper modification or add-ons to the device or
not recommended accessories (such as power units or connecting cables). The
manufacturer will not be responsible for these. Modifications may also result in a loss
of authorisation relating to the use of the device.
Devices emitting high frequency signals (mobile telephones, radio
transmitters, radio receivers) may cause interference in the floor scale
MPC/MPE. For that reason do not use them near the floor scale
MPC/MPE. Chapter 8.4 contains details about recommended
minimum distances.
