Table A-4. Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications
Equipment and STERIS 4095 General Surgical Table (per IEC 60601-2 Clause 6.8.3.201 b Table 206)
The STERIS 4095 General Surgical Table and related components are intended for use in the electromagnetic
environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The Customer or the user can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and this STERIS 4095 General Surgical Table as recommended below, according to the
minimum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in metres (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.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for 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.

Recommendation regarding use of high frequency (HF) surgical equipment (per IEC 60601-2-46 3rd edition):
1. The 4095 Surgical Table is intended for use with high frequency surgical equipment.
2. If degradation of performance is noted the HF surgical equipment leads and return plates must be re-
oriented to a more favorable position.
Statement regarding X-Ray Attenuation:
The aluminum equivalence for the table top and the x-ray top is 2 millimeters.
WARNING: The presence of any material in the x-ray beam will introduce diffusion and scattering effects.
Operators should take appropriate precautions against x-ray exposure. Material placed in the path of an x-ray
beam will attenuate the x-ray intensity. The x-ray beam intensity must not exceed safe patient levels.
WARNING:Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the 4095 General Surgical
Table, including cables specified by the STERIS. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
Examples of portable RF communications equipment include TETRA 400, GMRS 460, FRS 460, LTE Band 13
and 17, GSM 800/900, TETRA 800, iDEN 820, CDMA 850, LTE Band 5, GSM 1800, CDMA 1900, GSM 1900,
DECT, LTE Band 1, 3, 4, 25; UMTS, Bluetooth, WLAN, 802.11 b/g/n, RFID 2450, LTE Band 7, and WLAN
802.11 a/n.
