blood and fluid warmer
The QiF Warrior Extreme blood and fluid warmer is intended for use in an electromagnetic
environment in which radiated RF disturbance variables are controlled. The customer or user of the
QiF Warrior Extreme blood and fluid warmer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the QiF Warrior Extreme blood and fluid warmer 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 distance 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 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.
