Samsung NB17BSHS/EDC Ergonomics, Energy, Emissions, Ecology, Medical Requirement Classifications

Ergonomics

Good visual ergonomics and image quality in order to improve the working environment for the user and to reduce sight and strain problems. Important parameters are luminance, contrast, resolution, reflectance, colour rendition and image stability.

Energy

•Energy-saving mode after a certain time – beneficial both for the user and the environment

•Electrical safety

Emissions

•Electromagnetic fields

•Noise emissions

Ecology

•The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer must have a certified environmental management system such as EMAS or ISO 14 000

•Restrictions on

o chlorinated and brominated flame retardants and polymers o heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead.

The requirements included in this label have been developed by TCO Development in cooperation with scientists, experts, users as well as manufacturers all over the world. Since the end of the 1980s TCO has been involved in influencing the development of IT equipment in a more user- friendly direction. Our labelling system started with displays in 1992 and is now requested by users and IT-manufacturers all over the world.

Medical Requirement

Classifications:

In accordance with UL 2601-1/IEC 60601-1, the product is cssified as Continuous duty Class I equipment, which is not protected against ingress of liquids. The product is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

EMC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices to the IEC 601-1-2:1994. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

zReorient or relocate the receiving device.

zIncrease the separation between the equipment.

zConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device

(s) are connected.

zConsult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.

Video In / RS 232 / Video Out

Accessories equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC standards (i.e. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical equipment.) Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore, responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical services department or your local representative.

Transport and Storage Limitations: Temperature Range of -40°C to +70°C Relative Humidity of 10 -95%,non-condensing

*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
