Reducing EMI
To reduce possible problems caused by electromagnetic interfer-
ence, we recommend the following:
! Use only Dräger-approved accessories.
! Ensure that other products used in areas where patient moni-
toring and/or life-support is used comply to accepted emis-
sions standards (EN55011).
! Try to maximize the distance between electromedical
devices.
! Strictly limit exposure and access to portable radio-frequency
sources (e.g., cellular phones and radio transmitters). Be
aware that portable phones may periodically transmit even
when in standby mode.
! Maintain good cable management. Do not route cables over
electrical equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
! Ensure all electrical maintenance is performed by qualified
personnel.
Site of Operation
CAUTION: The site of operation for the monitor must meet tem-
perature, humidity, and air pressure requirements. For details, see
the product description in Appendix A.
WARNIN G: Do not operate the monitor in presence of
flammable anesthetic mixtures with air, oxygen, or
nitrous oxide. Do not use the monitor near devices with
microwave or other high frequency emissions that may
interfere with the monitor’s operation.
WARNIN G: If fluids are accidentally spilled on the mon-
itor, it should be removed from service immediately and
thoroughly inspected by your Biomed to ensure that
there is no compromise in electrical safety.
CAUTION: Place the monitor on a flat and stable surface to pre-
vent it from falling. Do not place the monitor into a cabinet, wall
recess or similar enclosure during operation. These units are con-
vection cooled (no fan) and need adequate airflow to dissipate heat.
