Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility

The Simulator battery life can be seriously shortened by leaving
the instrument turned on for many hours after the low battery
alarm sounds. To avoid damage:
•
Package and handle the Simulator to ensure that the power
switch cannot accidentally turn on during shipment.
•
Always connect the Simulator to its charger when not in
use. The Simulator allows continuous charging, a practice
that ensures full power charge whenever needed. The
Simulator may also be used while charging.
•
Always turn off the Simulator and connect it to its charger
when the low battery alarm sounds. The Simulator can be
used within about 1 minute of commencing charge. The
Simulator picks up two or more hours of battery run-time
for each hour of charger connect time, even when running
with the charger connected.
•
Avoid placing the Simulator in contact with, or in close
proximity to, Electrosurgery units (ESUs), MRIs, and
defibrillators.
•
Only use an appropriately rated battery charger to avoid
damage to the Simulator’s battery. Based on the testing
below, the Simulator bears the CE mark.
Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility
EC EMC Directive 89/336/EEC
EN 50081-1, CLASS A-Emissions
The Simulator has been type tested by an independent testing laboratory and found to
meet the requirements of EC Directive 89/336/EEC for Radiated Emissions and Line
Conducted Emissions. Verification was to the limits and methods of EN 55011. The
device is classified as EN 55011, Group 1, Class A.
EN 50082-1 Immunity
The Simulator was also tested and found to meet requirements for Electrostatic Discharge
Susceptibility, Radiated Susceptibility, and Electrical Fast Transient/Burst Susceptibility.
Verification of compliance was conducted to the limits and methods of EN 50082-
1:1992, IEC 801-2, IEC 801-3, and IEC 801-4.
Note
If using a battery charger while the Simulator is in the Electrical
Simulation Mode, the user may observe a spike in the voltage on the line to
the battery charger, thereby producing erratic results. If you suspect this
has occurred, retest the oximeter with the battery charger disconnected.
USA FCC CLASS A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when operating
the equipment in a commercial environment. Like similar medical equipment, this
