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 medi-
cal 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
defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interference and the maximum electromagnetic
emission levels for medical devices.
This blood pressure monitor, which is manufactured by Geratherm Medical AG, complies with the
EN 60601-1-2 standard in relation to both immunity and emissions.
However, special precautions should be observed:
Please only use the device indoors and not in the vicinity of mobile phones or microwave ovens.
In the case of devices whose maximum power exceeds 2 W, the minimum distance from your
blood pressure monitor should be 3.3 metres.
