Electromagnetic Emissions Standards Compliance
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are:
6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz;
and 40.66 to 40.70 MHz.
b The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the
frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/
portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought
into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the
recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c 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 AED is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the AED should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as re-orientating or relocating the AED.
d Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.
