7.7. Electromagnetic compatibility
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures with regard to
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Portable and mobile high-frequency communication
equipment can influence medical electrical equipment. This ME device is intended for ope-
ration in an electromagnetic environment as specified below. The user of the device should
ensure that it is operated in such an environment. This ME device must not be used directly
next to or arranged in a stack with other devices. If the device has to be operated near to or
in a stacked arrangement with other devices, then the ME device should be monitored in
order to verify that it operates as intended in this arrangement. This ME device is intended
exclusively for use by professional medical staff. This device can cause radio interference or
disrupt the operation of equipment nearby. Suitable remedial measures, such as for instance
re-alignment, re-arrangement of the ME device or shielding, may become necessary.

Compliance
Electromagnetic environment - guidelines
The EliteVue device employs HF energy solely for an
internal function. Therefore, its HF emissions are
Group 1
very low and are not likely to cause any interference
in nearby electronic equipment.
The EliteVue device is intended for use in all
facilities, including living quarters and such as are
Class B
directly connected to a public power supply that
also supplies buildings that are used for residential
purposes.

Electromagnetic environment -
guidelines
Floors should be made of wood or con-
crete or be covered with ceramic tiles.
If the floor is covered with a synthetic
material, then the relative humidity must
be at least 30%.
The quality of the supply voltage should
correspond to that of a typical business
or hospital environment.
The quality of the supply voltage should

If image disturbances occur, the EliteVue
device may have to be placed further
away from the sources of mains-fre-
quency magnetic fields, or magnetic
shielding may have to be installed: the
mains-frequency magnetic field should
be measured at the intended set-up
site in order to ensure that it is small
enough.
