Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
The AlarmView transmitter has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for medical devices to the FDA guidance for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation.
It is possible that high levels of radio frequency or conducted
frequency electromagnetic interference due to close proximity or
strength of source may result in performance disruption of
transmitter.
The transmitter is designed for use as a mobile device as defined
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Do not place
the transmitter on a patient’s or user’s body. Ensure that the
transmitter is located at least 20 cm (8 inches) from a patient or
user’s body. Location of the transmitter closer than 20 cm (8 inches)
to a person’s body will void the user’s FCC authority to operate the
equipment.
The Nellcor NPB-290, NPB-295, N-395, and N-3000 pulse oximetry
monitors are not designed for use in environments in which the pulse can
be obscured by EMI. Interference may cause measurements that seem
inappropriate or monitor may not seem to operate correctly. The
AlarmView System may generate alarms or error messages during these
conditions.
The AlarmView System generates, uses, and can radiate radio-
frequency energy and – if not installed and operated according to these
instructions – may cause interference with other devices in vicinity.
