Compliance levels raised by IEC 60601-2-24 (Edition 2.0 2012).

Performed at the minimum and maximum rated input voltage.

U is the AC mains voltage prior to application of the test level.

T
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

These guidelines might not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption

and reflection from structures, objects and people.
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz, and in the frequency

range 80 MHz - 2.5 GHz, are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications
equipment could cause interference if inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an
additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in
these frequency ranges.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters [such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and

mobile radios, amateur radio, AM/FM radio broadcast, 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 Alaris System
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level, the Alaris System should be observed to verify
normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures might be necessary, such as
reorienting or relocating the Alaris System.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz - 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V

The ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 - 6.795 MHz,

13.553 - 13.567 MHz, 26.957 - 27.283 MHz, and 40.66 - 40.70 MHz.
Compact Flash Wireless Networking Module
The CF Wireless Module contains a radio frequency, wireless,
local-area network interface (RF card). The RF card allows
the Alaris System to communicate with the Alaris Systems
Manager connected to the hospital information system. The
RF card is compliant with the rules and regulations in the
locations where the CF Wireless Module is sold, and is
labeled as required.
The United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) identification numbers are
visible through the CIB's clear plastic cover. If an international
country approval stamp is required, it is placed adjacent
to the identification numbers in the area provided. If the
FCC identification number or country approval stamp is not
easily visible, the RF card cover may be removed so that the
information provided can be read. If the RF card cover is
removed, ensure that it is reattached—using the screws that
