CardioMessenger II-S Precautionary measures
21
Precautionary measures
The CardioMessenger is a medical device and
therefore complies with strict requirements for
their development, manufacture and testing.
Please take the following precautions:
Warning!
Do not operate the CardioMessenger in
sections where cellular phones
are not
permitted for safety reasons (for example
in certain hospital sections).
Warning!
The distance between CardioMessenger and
implant has to be at least 20 centimeters.
This regulatory recommendation applies for
cellular phones as well as for the
CardioMessenger. The minimum distance
assures that the CardioMessenger does not
influence your implant.
Warning!
The device must be located outside the
patient's vicinity if the intended user is to be
introduced to the device in the hospital.
These legal requirements apply for electrical
devices in hospitals and do not apply when the
CardioMessenger is used at home.
Warning!
Use the CardioMessenger only if it is
undamaged. Return a damaged
CardioMessenger to your physician.
Warning!
Use only the original parts included (for
details, see "Technical data", page 27).
Other equipment may impair proper
functioning of the CardioMessenger and
increase the emitted interference and the
device's susceptibility to interference.
