Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's
and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of
the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations,
the EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has been implemented. This
standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic inter-
ferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emis-
sions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare con-
forms to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and
emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which
generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the
medical device.
This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a
potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify
correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is
available at OMRON Healthcare Europe at the address men-
tioned in this instruction manual.
