IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ELECTRO MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s
and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference 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 (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations,
theIEC60601-1-2standardhasbeenimplemented.Thisstandard
denesthelevelsofimmunitytoelectromagneticinterferences
as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for
medical devices.
MedicaldevicesmanufacturedbyOMRONHealthcareconformto
thisIEC60601-1-2:2007standardforbothimmunityandemissions.
Nevertheless,specialprecautionsneedtobeobserved:
• Theuseofaccessoriesandcablesotherthanthosespecied
 byOMRON,withtheexceptionofcablessoldbyOMRON
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. In case adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the medical device should be observed to verify
 normaloperationinthecongurationinwhichitwillbeused.
