EMC Compliance Table
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to
be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided below.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical
equipment. Shortwave or microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in
the stimulator output if operated in close proximity to the Avid IF2 (e.g. within 1 meter).
- Simultaneous connection of a patient to a high frequency surgical medical
electronic equipment may result in burns at the site of the Avid IF2 electrodes
and possible damage to the stimulator.
- Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave therapy
medical electronic equipment may produce instability in the Avid IF2 output.
Use of lead wires and other accessories other than those supplied by VQ OrthoCare
may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Avid IF2.
