ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Medical Electrical Equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
The elements
obturation unit needs to be installed and put into service according to the
TM
electromagnetic compatibility information provided in these instructions. Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
WARNINGS:
• The use of accessories and options other than those specified by the manufacturer may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the elements
• In the event of intermittent function of the device due to exposure to electromagnetic
interference, power cycle the unit as per IFU instructions provided above.
• In the event of permanent damage or display blackouts of the device due to electromagnetic
interference, stop use of the unit. Contact Customer Service.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the elements
obturation unit, including compatible cable. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
