However, if performing a measurement is required in the manner described above, 
the devices should be observed to ensure they work properly.
The device should not be installed in the vicinity of high-frequency devices, X-ray 
equipment, motors or transformers with high installed power rating, since electric or 
magnetic interference fields may falsify the results of measurements or make taking 
measurements impossible. Due to this, the vicinity of power lines is to be avoided as 
well.
Existing environmental interferences may cause deviations of the measuring values 
without impairing the device’s function. Therefore, it is recommended to keep a 
distance of about 2 meters from possible error sources when using the device. 
Use ERT approved accessories or spare parts for this medical device only. Use of 
unapproved equipment can result in increased electromagnetic interference or 
reduced electromagnetic immunity of the medical device and can lead to faulty 
operation. 
Other portable RF communication equipment (including their accessories, such as 
antenna cables and external antennas) should not be spaced less than 30 cm (or 
12 inches) from the parts and leads of the AM3. Failure to do so may result in a 
reduction in the performance of the AM3.
Ambient Conditions
AM3 must not be operated in rooms or in the presence of flammable anaesthetic 
mixture with air or flammable anaesthetic mixture with oxygen or nitrous oxide. 
AM3 has to be effectively protected against moisture. Therefore, it is required that 
the AM3 is always stored in the corresponding bag. The device corresponds to IP 22 
degree of protection. Measurements in the rain or in the shower are not allowed.
Measuring Mode 
As the combination with an IEC 60950-1 proofed PC or modem can lead to a sum-
mation of the leakage current, the AM3 must not be connected to a PC or modem 
during the measurement.
Should the measuring values of the AM3 be changed after a longer period of use, a 
new sensor should be used.
