10 Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC)

Warning: Note important information on electromagnetic compliance (EMC). The growing
number of electronic devices such as PCs, displays, TV sets and washing machines may subject
medical devices to electromagnetic interference. This may cause malfunctioning of the medical
device and create potentially unsafe situations. Medical devices should also not interfere with
other electronic devices. The norm IEC60601-1-2 was introduced to regulate the requirements
for EMC and prevent unsafe product situations. This norm defines the degrees of immunity
against electromagnetic interference and the maximum electromagnetic emission levels for
medical devices. CardioSecur complies with norm IEC60601-1-2:2001 concerning immunity as
well as emissions. Nonetheless, special precautions should be taken. Do not use devices that
cause strong electric or electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of CardioSecur. A minimum dis-
tance of 2 meters is recommended. If the distance is less than 2 meters CardioSecur may
not perform properly. In accordance with the norm IEC60601-1-2:2001, contact our customer
support (see section 13, Contact) to request further documentation.
