EMC RELATED CAUTION
This equipment and/or system complies with the International Standard IEC60601-1-2 for electromagnetic
compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or system. However, an electromagnetic environment that
exceeds the limits or levels stipulated in the IEC60601-1-2, can cause harmful interference to the equipment
and/or system or cause the equipment and/or system to fail to perform its intended function or degrade its
intended performance. Therefore, during the operation of the equipment and/or system, if there is any
undesired deviation from its intended operational performance, you must avoid, identify and resolve the
adverse electromagnetic effect before continuing to use the equipment and/or system.
The following describes some common interference sources and remedial actions:
1. Strong electromagnetic interference from a nearby emitter source such as an authorized radio station or
cellular phone:
Install the equipment and/or system at another location if it is interfered with by an emitter source such
as an authorized radio station. Keep the emitter source such as cellular phone away from the equipment
and/or system.
2. Radio-frequency interference from other equipment through the AC power supply of the equipment and/
or system:
Identify the cause of this interference and if possible remove this interference source. If this is not
possible, use a different power supply.
3. Effect of direct or indirect electrostatic discharge:
Make sure all users and patients in contact with the equipment and/or system are free from direct or
indirect electrostatic energy before using it.
4. Electromagnetic interference with any radio wave receiver such as radio or television:
If the equipment and/or system interferes with any radio wave receiver, locate the equipment and/or
system as far as possible from the radio wave receiver.
If the above suggested remedial actions do not solve the problem, consult your Nihon Kohden Corporation
subsidiary or distributor for additional suggestions.
Operator's Manual OPV-1500K iii
In IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electronic Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 2. Collateral
Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility-Requirements and test. Section 36. 202. 2 Radiated radio-
frequency electromagnetic fields, PATIENT COUPLED EQUIPMENT and/or SYSTEMS applicable IMMUNITY
test methods are under consideration at SC62A/WG13. The 3 V/m IMMUNITY level may be inappropriate
especially when measuring SpO2 because physiological signals can be much smaller than those induced
by a 3 V/m electromagnetic field.
When measuring SpO2, various interference may produce false waveforms which look like pulse
waveforms. SpO2 value and pulse rate may be measured from these false waveforms, causing the alarm to
function improperly.
When installing the monitor, avoid locations where the monitor may receive strong electromagnetic
interference such as radio or TV stations, cellular phone or mobile two-way radios.
WARNING
Interaction Between Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers and Cardiac Monitoring and Diagnostic
Equipment*
The bioelectric impedance measurement sensor of a minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemaker
may be affected by cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment which is connected to the same patient. If
this occurs, the pacemaker may pace at its maximum rate and give incorrect data to the monitor or
diagnostic equipment. If this occurs, disconnect the monitor or diagnostic equipment from the patient or
change the setting on the pacemaker by referring to the pacemaker’s manual. For more details, contact your
pacemaker distributor or Nihon Kohden distributor.
* Minute ventilation is sensed in rate-adaptive pacemakers by a technology known as bioelectric impedance measurement
(BIM). Many medical devices in addition to pacemakers use this technology. When one of these devices is used on a
patient with an active, minute ventilation rate-adaptive pacemaker, the pacemaker may erroneously interpret the mixture
of BIM signals created in the patient, resulting in an elevated pacing rate.
