SIMEOX is intended to operate in the following environments:

In healthcare facilities, in medical or paramedical practices At home

The essential performance of SIMEOX defined for magnetic compatibility, according to the result of the Risk Analysis is as follows:

The device must remain operational during the tests.

If the outlet is physically blocked, either by simulation of an obstruction for example, the patient s tongue, or by the measuring instrument, SIMEOX should switch to status outlet is blocked if the negative pressure level is above the limit of 160 mBar, and once in outlet is blocked status, should maintain this status, regardless of the disturbances to which the device is subjected.

Using this device near or stacked on other appliances should be avoided because this could cause a malfunction. If this use is necessary, this device and the other appliances should be monitored to check they are operating normally.

Portable RF communication appliances should not be used (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennae) closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of SIMEOX including the cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, the performance of these appliances could be impaired.

The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or supplied by PHYSIO- ASSIST can cause an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a reduction in the immunity of this device and cause inappropriate operation.
