EMC compliance
Special precautions concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) must be taken for all
medical electrical equipment. This device complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2014/EN
60601-2-1:2015.
•
All medical electrical equipment must be installed and put into service in accordance
with the EMC information provided in this Directions for use.
•
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the behavior of
medical electrical equipment.
The monitor complies with all applicable and required standards for electromagnetic
interference.
•
It does not normally affect nearby equipment and devices.
•
It is not normally affected by nearby equipment and devices.
•
It is not safe to operate the monitor in the presence of high-frequency surgical
equipment.
•
However, it is good practice to avoid using the monitor in extremely close proximity
to other equipment.
Note
Connex Devices have essential performance requirements associated with
blood pressure measurement, oxygen saturation, CO2, Respiration, ECG,
and temperature measurement. In the presence of EM disturbances, the
device displays an error code. Once the EM disturbances stop, the Connex
Device self-recovers and performs as intended.
WARNING Avoid using Connex Devices adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment or medical electrical systems because doing so could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, observe the Connex Device
and other equipment to verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING Use only accessories Welch Allyn recommends for use with
Connex Devices. Accessories not recommended by Welch Allyn may affect
the EMC emissions or immunity.
WARNING Maintain minimum separation distance between Connex
Devices and portable RF communication equipment. Performance of
Connex Devices might degrade if you don't maintain sufficient separation
distance.
