INFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 13
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The monitor has been designed and tested for compliance with current regulatory
standards (IEC 60601-1-2 and CISPR 11 Class B) regarding its capacity to reduce
electromagnetic emissions (EMI) and to block EMI from external sources.
Dräger recommends these procedures to reduce electromagnetic interference:
Use only Dräger provided accessories, otherwise the correct functioning of
the device may be compromised (see appendix C).
Ensure that other products in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas
comply to accepted emissions standards (CISPR 11, Class B).
Maximize distance between electro medical devices. High-power devices
relating to electrocautery, electrosurgery, and radiation (X-ray), as well as
electrical stimulators and evoked potential devices, may produce interference
on the monitor.
Strictly limit access to portable radio-frequency sources (e.g., cellular phones
and radio transmitters). Portable phones may periodically transmit even when
in standby mode.
Maintain good cable management. Avoid routing cables over electrical
equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
Ensure electrical maintenance is done by qualified personnel.
NBP and sidestream etCO
2
monitors and pods (except for the Infinity etCO
2
Microstream
®
pod) use motors that emit very low-level electromagnetic fields
that may interfere with other sensitive medical devices.
