Conformity with EN/IEC 60601-1-2

Warning!

Electromagnetic Compatibility Precautions

  • Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

  • The CS 9600 must be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this document.

  • The CS 9600 may interfere with other equipment even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.

  • Portable and Mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.

 

CS 9600 Components

CS 9600

Warning!

  • Use limitation: the use of accessories, cables, or transducers other than those specified in the user’s guide with the exception of cables, accessories or transducers sold by Carestream Dental LLC, as replacement parts of internal components may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the CS 9600 system.

  • The CS 9600 system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the CS 9600 system should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

  • Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 in) to any part of the CS 9600 including cables specified by Carestream. Otherwise, it could result in degradation of the performance of the CS 9600 equipment.

Warning!

The room in which your radiology unit is to be installed must comply with all official regulations applicable to protection against radiation. You must install your radiology unit in a room protected against X-ray emission.

 

Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration - Electromagnetic Emissions (IEC 60601-1-2)

The CS 9600 system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the CS 9600 system should assure that it is used in such an environment.

RF emissions

CISPR 11

Group 1

The CS 9600 system uses RF energy only for their internal function. Therefore, their RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.

RF emissions

CISPR 11

Class B

The CS 9600 system is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration - Electromagnetic Immunity

The CS 9600 system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the CS 9600 system should assure that it is used in such an environment.

The essential performance concerns accuracy of loading factors (mA, kV), if the ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE is lost or degraded due to EM DISTURBANCES, the system stops the examination and the user is notified of the error.

Warning!

Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the CS 9600 including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

Note: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the CS 9600 system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the CS 9600 system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the CS 9600.
