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 CP 100 electrocardiograph is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the electrocardiograph should be observed to verify normal operation.

CP 100 Electrocardiograph The CP 100 electrocardiograph is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the CP 100 electrocardiograph can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the CP 100 electrocardiograph as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
