Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Comp atibility (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 interfere nce may result in incorrect operation of
the medical device and create a potentially unsaf e situation.
Medical devices s hould also not interfere with ot her devices.
In order to regulate the requirements f o r 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 im munity to electromagnetic interferences as
well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical
devices.
This medical device m anufactured by OM RON HEAL THCARE
conforms to this EN60601-1-2: 2007 standard for both immunity and
emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need t o be observed:
• Do not use m obile (cellular) telephones and other devices, w hich
generate strong elect rical or electromagnetic fields, near the
medical device. This may result in incorrec t operation of the unit
and create a potentially unsaf e situation. Recommendation is t o
keep a minimum distance of 7 m . V erify correct operation of the
device in case t he distance is shorter .
Further documentation in accordanc e with EN60601-1-2:2007 is
available at OMRON HE AL THCARE EUROPE at the address
mentioned in this instruction manual.
