1. Turn equipment in vicinity off and on to isolate disruptive equip-
ment.
2. Relocate or re-orient interfering equipment.
3. Increase distance between interfering equipment and this
equipment.
4. Manage use of frequencies close to AlarmView System frequen-
cies.
5. Remove devices that are highly susceptible to EMI.
6. Lower power from internal sources within facility control (such as
paging systems).
7. Labeling will not eliminate interference with devices susceptible
to EMI.
8. Educate clinical staff to recognize potential EMI-related prob-
lems.
9. Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as
shielding).
10. Restrict use of personal communicators (cell phones, comput-
ers) in areas with devices susceptible to EMI.
11. Share relevant EMI information with others, particularly when
evaluating new equipment purchases which may generate EMI.
12. Purchase critical care equipment that complies with IEC 601-1-2
EMC Standards (3V/meter EMI immunity, limit interference level
to 0.0014 V/meter).
Use the following chart to estimate protective distance:
