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 EN60601-1-2:2007 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.

Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.

Another notable characteristic of the Omron U22 is its memory function, which can store up to 60 readings. This feature is especially useful for tracking blood pressure trends over time, helping users and healthcare providers to make informed decisions based on historical data. The monitor also features an average mode, which calculates the average of the last three readings for increased accuracy.

Comfort is a significant consideration in the design of the U22. It comes with a comfortable and adjustable cuff that fits a wide range of arm sizes, ensuring a snug fit for various users. The cuff is designed to promote easy application, allowing users to self-measure their blood pressure without assistance.

Additionally, the Omron U22 incorporates hypertension indicators that alert users if their readings are above the normal range. This feature serves as an important reminder for users to take necessary actions regarding their health, making it an essential tool for those at risk of hypertension.

In summary, the Omron U22 combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to monitor their blood pressure effectively.
