This device conforms to IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard. Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

Note

PRECAUTION - The use of the B4C wireless sensor adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided. If such use is necessary, the device and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.

Note

PRECAUTION - Only original charging cables and accessories shipped with the B4C System should be used. Do

...

not use them in any other equipment or device. The use of accessories other than those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device.

Note

PRECAUTION - The B4C System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the B4C System helps to prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance of 30cm (12 inches) between portable or mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the B4C System.

Note

PRECAUTION - The B4C System may be affected by equipment that emits RF signals in the environment in which it is

...

installed. Using the device close to RFID readers can cause temporary loss of wireless functionalities.

Appendix Table 3-1: Compliance Information for Electromagnetic Emissions Requirements Based on IEC 60601-1-2: 2014.

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration—electromagnetic emissions

The B4C System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user of the B4C System must ensure that it is used in such an environment.

Electromagnetic environment—guidance

RF emissions CISPR 11

Group 1

The B4C System uses RF energy only for its internal functions.
As such, their RF emissions are very low and unlikely to cause any interference with nearby electronic equipment.

RF emissions CISPR 11

Class B

Although the B4C System is determined intended to be used in professional healthcare establishments only, RF emissions levels are also compatible with domestic enviromentsenvironments, or enviroments environments that are connected to the public low-voltage electricity distribution network.
