Notes on EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
Guidance and manufacturer's declaration - electromagnetic immunity - for equipment and systems within Professional Healthcare use
environment
The ICS Aircal device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The user of the ICS Aircal device should ensure that it is
used in such an environment.

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.
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 ICS Aircal device is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the ICS Aircal device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures might be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the ICS Aircal device.
b.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
