Information on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
Electronic devices such as PCs and mobile phones can
lead to medical devices in operation being exposed to elec-
tromagnetic interference from other devices. This can lead
to malfunction of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with any other
equipment.
The EN 60601-1-2 standard regulates the requirements for
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and defines the levels
of immunity to electromagnetic interference and the maxi-
mum electromagnetic emission levels for medical devices.
This blood pressure monitor, which is manufactured by Ger-
atherm Medical AG, complies with the EN 60601-1-2 stand-
ard in relation to both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions should be observed:
Please only use the device indoors and not in the
vicinity of mobile phones or microwave ovens.
This device should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other devices; and if it has to be used
adjacent to or stacked with other devices, it should
be observed to verify normal operation in the con-
figuration in which it is being used.
Warning:
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than
those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this de-
vice may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
reduced electromagnetic immunity of the device and may
cause it to malfunction.
