Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
to EN60601-1:2007
WARNING: use of portable phones or other radio frequency (RF)
emitting equipment near the system may cause unexpected or
adverse operation
The MicroLab has been tested to EN60601-1-2:2007, regarding its ability to
operate in an environment containing other electrical/electronic equipment
(including other medical devices).
The purpose of this testing is to ensure that the MicroLab is not likely to
adversely affect the normal operation of other such equipment and that other
such equipment is not likely to adversely affect the normal operation of the
MicroLab.
Despite the testing of the MicroLab that has been undertaken, normal
operation of the MicroLab can be affected by other electrical/electronic
equipment and portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
As the MicroLab is medical equipment, special precautions are needed
regarding EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).
It is important that the MicroLab is configured and installed/put into service,
in accordance with the instructions/guidance provided herein and is used only
in the configuration as supplied.
Changes or modifications to the MicroLab may result in increased emissions
or decreased immunity of the MicroLab in relation to EMC performance.
The MicroLab should be used only with the accessories (USB cables, mains
adapter and turbine transducer) supplied (which are referenced in the
accessories section of this manual). None of the Microlab cables should be
extended in length by the user.
If any cables are extended by the user or non approved accessories are used,
this may result in an increased level of emissions or decreased level of immunity,
in relation to the MicroLab's EMC. None of the Microlabs accessories should
be used with other devices, as this may result in an increased level of
emissions or decreased level of immunity, in relation to the other devices'
EMC.
The MicroLab has an essential performance – the product should continue
to operate correctly. In the unlikely event of a Fast Transient / ESD event
occurring, the device should be reset and located away from the source of
interference.
WARNING:
The MicroLab should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use with other equipment is necessary,
the MicroLab and the other equipment should be observed / monitored, to
verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
