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 12-channel
electrocardiograph is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
12-channel electrocardiograph should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or
relocating the 12-channel electrocardiograph.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
c
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 0.15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6.765
MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66
MHz to 40.70 MHz. The amateur radio bands between 0.15 MHz and 80 MHz are 1.8 MHz
to 2.0 MHz, 3.5 MHz to 4.0 MHz, 5.3 MHz to 5.4 MHz, 7 MHz to 7.3 MHz, 10.1 MHz to
10.15 MHz, 14 MHz to 14.2 MHz, 18.07 MHz to 18.17 MHz, 21.0 MHz to 21.4 MHz, 24.89
MHz to 24.99 MHz, 28.0 MHz to 29.7 MHz and 50.0 MHz to 54.0 MHz.
