Information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electronic devices such as PCs and mobile phones can lead to
the exposure of medical devices in operation to electromagnetic
interference from other devices. This can lead to malfunction of
the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with any other devices.
The EN 60601-1-2 standard regulates the requirements for EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility) and defines the levels of immuni-
ty to electromagnetic
interference and the maximum electromagnetic emission levels
for medical devices.
This pulse oximeter, which is manufactured by Geratherm Medi-
cal AG, complies with the EN 60601-1-2:2007 standard in relati-
on to both immunity and emissions.
However, special precautions should be observed:

Electromagnetic environment -
guidance
RF energy is used only to maintain
device's operation. Therefore, its RF
emissions are so low that it's not likely
to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment.
The device is suitable for use in all
establishments, including domestic
establishments, and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage
power supply network that supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
