Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the CADD®-
Solis pump
The CADD®-Solis pump is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the CADD®-Solis pump can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the CADD®-Solis pump
as recommended below, according to the maximum out put 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 determined using the equation 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 1:
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2:
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 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
NOTE 3:
An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM
frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that
mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
NOTE 4:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects, and people.
