CE Marking Information

CE Marking Information Compliance The MAC™ 5500 system bears the CE mark “CE-0459”, notified body GMED, indicating its conformity with the provisions of the Council Directive 93/42/EEC, concerning medical devices and fulfills the essential requirements of Annex I of this directive. Any other directive(s) and all the standards the product complies to are listed in the general information of the operator manual for the product following this page. The country of manufacture can be found on the equipment labeling. The safety and effectiveness of this device has been verified against previously distributed devices. Although all standards applicable to presently marketed devices may not be appropriate for prior devices (i.e. electromagnetic compatibility standards), this device will not impair the safe and effective use of those previously distributed devices.

Recommendations Users should be aware of known RF sources, such as radio or TV stations and handheld or mobile two-way radios, and consider them when installing a medical device or system. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the medical device or system may degrade the EMI performance. Consult with qualified personnel regarding changes to the system configuration. Operating the system near radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic interference (EMI) above the conditions defined in the EMC Standard EN60601-1-2 for Radiated Immunity (field strengths above 3 volts per meter) may cause waveform distortions. Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the accompanying service manual. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers and cables sold by the manufacturer of the system as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system.

CE-2

„

Assess the EMC environment of the healthcare facility (e.g., identify radio transmitters in around the facility) and identify areas where critical medical devices are used (e.g., ER, ICU, CCU, NICU).

„

Increase the distance between sources of EMI and susceptible devices.

„

Remove the devices that are highly susceptible to EMI.

„

Lower power transmitted from electrical and electronic equipment (EMI sources) under hospital control (i.e. paging systems).

„

Label devices susceptible to EMI.

„

Introduction

WARNING DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS - Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise, serious injury or death could result. Patient signal inputs labeled with the CF and BF symbols with paddles are protected against damage resulting from defibrillation voltages. To ensure proper defibrillator protection, use only the recommended cables and leadwires. Proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes is required to ensure successful defibrillation.

WARNING ELECTRODES - Polarizing electrodes (stainless steel or silver constructed) may cause the electrodes to retain a residual charge after defibrillation. A residual charge will block acquisition of the ECG signal. Whenever patient defibrillation is a possibility, use non-polarizing (silver/silver chloride construction) electrodes for ECG monitoring.

WARNING MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE - Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance of the device. For this reason make sure that all external devices operated in the vicinity of the device comply with the relevant EMC requirements. X-ray equipment or MRI devices are possible sources of interference as they may emit higher levels of electromagnetic radiation.

WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics vapors or liquids.
