General notes on safety
Siemens ePen remote control devices have been tested
by an European Notified Body of Medical Devices and
found not to cause interference with cardiac pacema-
kers that are manufactured and operated in compliance
with applicable safety standards provided worst-case
scenarios are avoided.
Therefore, they can be operated safely by, or within the
vicinity of individuals fitted with these pacemakers.
If you wear a pacemaker carry the remote control
with a safety distance of about 12 inches (30 cm) to
the pacemaker.
Do not carry the remote control:
in your breast pocket.
with a lanyard around the neck.
directly on the skin over the implanted pacemaker.
In case the hearing instrument is controlled by ano-
ther person’s remote control, please return remote
control and hearing instruments to your Hearing Care
Professional.
The performance of wireless function may be affected
by electromagnetic interference – e.g. from a computer
monitor or fluorescent lamp system.
Move away from the source of interference if you
experience difficulty.
