9.Technical Data
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 EN60601-1-2:2001 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 EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at OMRON Healthcare Europe
at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
