8Safety during Use
Electromagnetic Interference
Possible electromagnetic
interference
The programmer is protected from disturbances resulting from electromagnetic
interference, electrostatic discharges and other sources, including interference
from cables. Simultaneously, the emitted interference has been reduced to a
minimum. Thus the programmer conforms to the requirements of EN 60601-1-2
(in the revision valid at the time of delivery) .
However, strong electromagnetic interferences that occur in the close vicinity of
electrical motors, power cables, PCs, monitors, or other – possibly defective – elec-
trical devices may compromise the function of the programmer in certain cases.
This kind of device malfunction should be considered if the following is observed:
• The device switches on by itself.
• The device senses false intrinsic events in the ECG, IEGM or marker channel
(artifacts).
• The device displays other inexplicable functions.
Correct operation of the device can be restored with the following:
• Switch off the malfunctioning electronic device.
• Remove the source of interference from the device.
• Switch the programmer on and off or break the electrical connection between
the device and the source of the interference as much as possible without
causing any danger.
Note: If accessories other than those specified by BIOTRONIK are used, increased
interference or lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Note: If accessories specified by BIOTRONIK are used on other devices, increased
interference or lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Note: Portable radio communication devices can interfere with the programmer
functioning.
If the interference continues, contact BIOTRONIK immediately.
EMI test The telemetry between the programming head and the implanted device can be
impaired by electromagnetic interference (EMI). This can be observed when it
becomes difficult or even impossible to interrogate or program the implanted
device. Using the EMI test (refer to device software help), the source of the electro-
magnetic interference can be located and then turned off.
