Recommended separation distances
The table below provides the recommended separation distances (in meters)
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the
CARESCAPE V100 vital signs monitor.
The CARESCAPE V100 vital signs monitor is intended for use in the
electromagnetic environment on which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the CARESCAPE V100 vital signs monitor can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the CARESCAPE V100 vital signs monitor as recommended below, according to
the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the
recommended separation distance [
d ] in meters (m) can be estimated using the
equitation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE:
These guidelines may not apply in all instances. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
