Information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electronic devices such as PCs and mobile phones can lead to
the exposure of medical devices in operation to electromagnetic
interference from other devices. This can lead to malfunction of
the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with any other devices.
The EN 60601-1-2 standard regulates the requirements for EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility) and defi nes the levels of immunity
to electromagnetic
interference and the maximum electromagnetic emission levels
for medical devices.
This pulse oximeter, which is manufactured by Geratherm Medi-
cal AG, complies with the EN 60601-1-2:2007 standard in relation
to both immunity and emissions.
However, special precautions should be observed:
