• During installation and operation of the device, observe the following
instructions:
• To avoid electromagnetic interference with the device's operation, do
not use it simultaneously with other electronic equipment.
• Do not use or stack the device near, on or under other electronic
equipment to avoid electromagnetic interference when operating the
device.
• Do not use the device in the same room as other electronic devices,
such as e.g. life-saving equipment that can have a major impact on
a patient's life and treatment outcomes, or any other measuring or
treatment device that uses weak electrical currents.
• Do not use cables or accessories that are not specified for the device
because that may increase the emission of electromagnetic waves
from the device and decrease the immunity of the device to electro-
magnetic interference.
• Do not touch the pins connecting the control unit to the lenses or the
signal pad on the lenses without special precautions.
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautions in
terms of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Portable and mobile radio frequency communication devices can affect
medical electrical equipment. The ME device is intended for operation in
a home health care electromagnetic environment and for professional
facilities such as industrial areas and hospitals.
The user of the device should ensure that it is operated within such an
environment.
Warning:
The ME device may not be stacked, arranged or used directly next
to or with other devices. When use close to or stacked with other devices
is required, the ME device and the other ME devices must be monitored
to ensure intended operation within this configuration. This ME device is
intended for use by medical professionals only. This device may cause
radio frequency interference or interfere with the operation of nearby
devices. It may become necessary to take appropriate corrective measu-
res, such as redirecting or rearranging the ME device or shield.
The ME device assessed does not exhibit any essential performance
characteristics in the sense of EN60601-1, which would present an un-
acceptable risk to patients, operators or third parties should the power
supply fail or malfunction.
Warning:
Portable RF communications equipment (radios) including acces-
sories, such as antenna cables and external antennas, should not be
used in closer proximity than 30 cm (12 inches) to parts and cables of
the ri-scope L instrument head specified by the manufacturer. Failure
to comply may result in a reduction of the device's performance cha-
racteristics.
