Da Vinci IS5000 System User Manual 555500-01 Rev. A
Tables section. Special precautions and installation information for the system for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) are provided in this section.
The performance of the system is unaffected when exposed to full range of electromagnetic
environment as described in the IEC 60601-1-2 standard. There is no degradation of performance
and therefore no risks to the patient or other devices due to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
when used in the electromagnetic environment as specified in Tables 2 – 4 below in the EMC Tables
section.
Use only Intuitive-branded interconnection cables and accessories. Performance of cables or
accessories other than those specified by Intuitive as replacement parts for internal components
cannot be guaranteed. Any resulting damage to the system will not be covered under warranty.
Note: Use of cables or accessories other than those specified by Intuitive may result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity of the system.
Equipment in the operating room, including the system and other portable or mobile
communications equipment, can produce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), which may affect
the function of these devices. Such effects are prevented by use of equipment with EMI
characteristics proven below recognized limits, as identified in the below tables.
WARNING: Symptoms of interference could include repeated faults, unintentional
movement of arms, instruments or endoscope, loss or frozen video, loss of wireless
connectivity. In the event of suspected interference from other equipment, which prevents
the proper functioning of the system, contact Intuitive and/or discontinue use of the
system until the problem can be remedied.
Note: The system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
However, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the system should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it is used.
Note: This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
FCC Compliance
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
