SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1163147 9 Perfecto2™Series
Radio Frequency Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601-1-2. These limits are
designed to provide a reasonable protection against
electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low
levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above
standards. To determine if the emissions from the Perfecto
2
is
causing the interference, turn the Perfecto
2
Off. If the
interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Perfecto
2
is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference
may be reduced or corrected by one of the following
measures:
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation
between the equipment.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the other device(s) is
connected.
