12. EMC
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's and mobiles, medical devices in use may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference from these devices. Which may result in incorrect operation of
the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not interfere with
other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN 60601-1-2
standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as
well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
Medical devices manufactured by Clement Clarke International Ltd. conform to this EN60601-1-2 standard for both
immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by Clement Clarke International Ltd., with the
exception of cables sold by Clement Clarke International Ltd. as replacement parts for internal components, may
result in increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.
The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
unavoidable, the medical device should be seen to operate normally as it should in this situation.
Summary of EMC tests IEC 60601-1-2 (See additional sheet) No deviations occurred.
Electronic devices should be no closer than 30cm (12inches) to any part of the compressor
nebuliser system.
Abnormal performance of the compressor nebuliser could be displayed by:
•
changes in motor speed
•
changes in airflow
Further guidance regarding the EMC environment (in accordance with EN60601-1-2) in which the device should be
used is available at https://www.haag-streit.com/clement-clarke/products/nebulisation/
IMPORTANT
The wires of the mains lead wire are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue
Brown -
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings sometimes used to identify the
terminals in a plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
NOTE
Neither wire should be connected to the earth pin marked E
