absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot
be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the Pulse Oximeter is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Pulse
Oximeter should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Pulse Oximeter.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the EQUIPMENT or SYSTEM –
Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Pulse Oximeter.
The Pulse Oximeter is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Pulse Oximeter can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Pulse Oximeter as recommended below, according to
the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
