BodyGuardian One – Instructions for Use 19
Appendix C: Wireless Compliance
FCC ID: 2ACA9-10002V
FCC Regulations Compliance Statement
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified
equipment. This wireless electro-cardiovascular monitor has been evaluated under FCC
Bulletin OET 65C (01-01) and found to be compliant to the requirements of uncontrolled
environmental limits as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 addressing RF Exposure
from radio frequency devices when operated in accordance with the operation guidelines
described in this manual. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instruction in
this publication will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
The BodyGuardian One contains a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part
of the comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/Kg. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model.
This device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when worn in a holster or
belt clip over belt or waistband of an outer garment with 15mm minimum separation distance
from the body.
The highest reported SAR value for this body-worn device is: 1.44 W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless electro-cardiovascular
monitor with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
