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 standard has been
implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic
interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical
devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2001 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. Recom-
mendation 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 EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at
OMRON Healthcare Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
