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 medical bed is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
medical bed should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the medical bed.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m.
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the medical bed
The medical bed is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the medical bed can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the medical bed as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment

Electromagnetic environment – guidance
Power frequency magnetic fields should be at
levels characteristic of a typical location in a
typical commercial or hospital environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to any part
of the medical bed including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated
from the equation applicable to the frequency
of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:
where P is the maximum output power rating
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in metres
(m). b
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
