Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the Epic II Critical Care Bed.
The
Epic II Critical Care
Bed is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the
Epic II Critical Care
Bed can help prevent
electromagnetic interferences by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the
Epic II Critical Care
Bed 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 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
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection
from structures, objects and people.
