ii Installation Guide CNS-9701

EMC RELATED CAUTION
This equipment and/or system complies with the International Standard IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic
compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or system. However, an electromagnetic environment
that exceeds the limits or levels stipulated in the IEC 60601-1-2, 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. A humid room can help lessen this problem.
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
representative for additional suggestions.
The CE mark is a protected conformity mark of the European Community. The products herewith comply with
the requirements of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
The CE mark only applies to the CNS-9701K series central monitors.
This equipment complies with EUROPEAN STANDARD EN-60601-1-2:1993 which requires EN-55011, class A.
Class A EQUIPMENT is allowed in domestic establishments when used under the jurisdiction of a health care
professional.

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 radiofrequency
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.

General Requirements for Connecting Medical Electrical Systems
When more than one electrical instrument is used, there may be electrical
potential difference between the instruments. Potential difference between
instruments may cause current to flow to the patient connected to the
instruments, resulting in electrical shock (micro shock). Therefore, electrical
instruments must be appropriately installed as specified in IEC 60601-1-1.
The following is an extract from IEC 60601-1-1 “Medical electrical equipment

Part 1: General requirements for safety”. For details, refer to IEC 60601-1-1 and
consult with a biomedical engineer.
