Information on electromagnetic compatibility
General information on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) according to international EMC standard
IEC 60601-1-2:
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special
precautionary measures concerning electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and put into
operation in accordance with the EMC information
provided (see page 303).
Portable and mobile radio frequency communication
equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
Patient safety
The design of the medical device, the accompanying
documentation, and the labeling on the medical device
are based on the assumption that the purchase and
the use of the medical device are restricted to persons
familiar with the most important inherent characteristics
of the medical device.
Instructions and WARNING and CAUTION statements
are therefore largely limited to the specifics of the
Dräger medical device.
The instructions for use do not contain any information
on the following points:
– Risks that are obvious to users
– Consequences of obvious improper use of the
medical device
– Potentially negative effects on patients with
different underlying diseases
Medical device modification or misuse can be
dangerous.
Patient monitoring
The user of the medical device is responsible for
choosing a suitable patient monitoring system that
provides appropriate information on medical device
performance and patient condition.
Patient safety may be achieved by a wide variety of
means ranging from electronic surveillance of medical
device performance and patient condition to direct
observation of clinical signs.
The responsibility for selection the best level of patient
monitoring lies solely with the user of the medical
device.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock
Do not connect connectors with an ESD
warning symbol and do not touch their
pins without implementing ESD
protective measures. Such protective
measures can include antistatic clothing and
shoes, touching a potential equalization pin
before and during connection of the pins, or using
electrically insulating and antistatic gloves.
All users concerned must be instructed in these
ESD protective measures.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock
Connecting devices to the auxiliary
outlets of the anesthesia machine can
cause an increase in leakage current
beyond permissible values if the
protective conductor of a device fails.
Check the leakage current when connecting
devices to the auxiliary outlets. If connecting a
device (or devices) increases the leakage current
to a value which exceeds the permissible value,
do not use the auxiliary outlets of the anesthesia
machine: use a separate wall socket.
The system must fulfill the requirements for
medical electrical equipment in accordance with
the relevant standards, see page 308.
CAUTION!
Risk of patient injury
Do not make therapeutic decisions based solely on
individual measured values and monitoring
parameters.
