Testing Compatibility
1. Identify any critical care medical devices located within the
communication range of Sidne™.
2. Test each device for compatibility with the Sidne™ system.
• Power on the critical care devices.
• Perform a variety of functions with the Sidne™ system. Issue
commands with both the tablet and headset, and power on and
off the tablet, headset, and console.
• Observe the critical care devices for per function.
Note Should a device demonstrate irregular behavior while
Sidne™ is in operation, increase the distance between the
device and the Sidne™ console and repeat step 2 until
normal behavior is restored. Consult the tables below for
guidance in placing the Sidne™ console.
Note For extra information about this test method, please refer to
the “Electromagnetic Compatibility” section in this manual,
or to the ANSI C63.18 standard.
Note The radio-frequency communication range of Sidne™ has
been moderated to 30-40 feet to help manage
electromagnetic interference.
