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

potential 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 device.

This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms 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.
