Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the model 675
The model 675 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the model 675 can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the model 675 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 separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated 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.
Notes
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Filtration
What filter is used in the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ Model 675 warming unit?
The Model 675 uses the same filter media as has for many years been used in prior Bair Hugger 700-series models. That filter media is classified on an industry-standard scale
as MERV 14 at 44 CFM (cubic feet per minute) under ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2012: Method of Testing General Air Ventilation Air-Cleaning Devices for Removal Efficiency by
Particle Size.
1,2
What is a MERV rating?
The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV, is a measurement scale to rate the efficiency of an air filter as a function of particle size based on the ASHRAE
Standard 52.2-2012.
1,2
What is the MERV rating recommended for operating rooms?
ASHRAE Standard 170-2013, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities, provides standards and guidance on the design requirements for ventilation systems utilized in health care
facilities. The standard recommends that operating rooms utilize a filter that is equivalent to MERV 14.

operating room.
What is the MERV rating recommended for patient warming devices in the operating room?
There is no filtration standard for patient warming devices utilized within the operating room. The ASHRAE Standard is a standard used to assess filter efficiency in health care
ventilation systems.
Is a HEPA filter necessary?
No. We are not aware of any evidence or claim demonstrating that a HEPA filter improves patient safety.
What is the ASHRAE 52.2-2012 standard?
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is a global organization focused on research, education and standards for heating,
ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration. The ASHRAE standard 52.2-2012
efficiency. For more information on ASHRAE, please visit www.ashrae.org.
