EMC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices to the IEC
601-1-2:1994. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
z
Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
z
Increase the separation between the equipment.
z
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device
(s) are connected.
z
Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
Video In / RS 232 / Video Out
Accessories equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the
respective IEC standards (i.e. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical
equipment.) Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1.
Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part
configures a medical system, and is therefore, responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of the system standard IEC 601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical services
