Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration electromagnetic compatibility
The Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope have been tested regarding
their ability to operate in an environment containing other electrical/
electronic equipment (including other medical devices).
The purpose of this testing is to ensure the Jazz Otoscope and
Ophthalmoscope are not likely to adversely affect the normal
operation of other such equipment and that other such equipment
is not likely to adversely affect the normal operation of the Jazz
Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope.
Despite the testing of the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope
that has been undertaken, normal operation of the Jazz Otoscope
and Ophthalmoscope can be affected by other electrical/electronic
equipment and portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
As the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope are classed as medical
equipment, special precautions are needed regarding EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility).
It is important that the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope are
configured and installed/put into service, in accordance with the
instructions/guidance provided herein and are used only in the
configuration as supplied.
The Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope have been tested (and should
be used only with) the Jazz battery handle and lamp supplied.
If the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope are used with battery
handles other than the one supplied, or with lamps other than those
recommended, this may result in increased emissions or decreased
immunity of the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope, in relation to
EMC performance.
It should be noted that the Jazz battery handle and lamps provided
with the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope should not be used
on other equipment. To do so may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the other equipment in relation to EMC
performance.
The Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope should not be used adjacent
to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use with
other equipment is necessary, the Jazz Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope
and the other equipment should be observed/monitored, to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
For the purposes of EN60601-1-2, the Jazz Otoscope and
Ophthalmoscope have an essential
performance. This essential performance
is that the light output should
remain on.
