Appendix 2: Technical Information
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) INFORMATION Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect devices such as the Portable Oxygen Concentrator. As such, the device should not be used adjacent to other equipment. If this is not practical, then observe the device to make sure it is operating properly at all times.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration: electromagnetic emissions
The Portable Oxygen Concentrator is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the concentrator should assure that it is used in such an environment.
Emissions test | Compliance | Electromagnetic environment/guidance |
