The Pump is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the Pump should ensure that it is used in such an environment.

Radiated RF (Note 3)
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.
Note 3—Compliance levels raised by EN 60601-2-24.
a
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are
intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is 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.
b
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 pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the pump should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the pump.
c
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Electromagnetic Environment – Guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the pump, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from 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 and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
