CE Marking Information
ApexPro and ApexPro CH Transmitters
36.202.2 Immunity: Radiated Fields If operated in the midst of the conditions
outlined in EMC standard EN60601-1-2
(Radiated Immunity 3 V/m), fields in excess of
1 V/m may cause waveform distortions and
erroneous numeric data at various
electromagnetic interference (EMI)
frequencies.
Review the AAMI EMC Committee technical
information report (TIR-18) titled Guidance
on electromagnetic compatibility of medical
devices for clinical/biomedical engineers -
Part 1: Radiated radio-frequency
electromagnetic energy. This TIR provides
a means to evaluate and manage the EMI
environment in the hospital.
Manage (increase) distance between
sources of EMI and susceptible devices.
Manage (remove) devices that are highly
susceptible to EMI.
Lower power from internal EMI sources
under hospital control (i.e., paging
systems).
Label devices susceptible to EMI.
Educate staff (nurses and doctors) to be
aware of, and to recognize, potential EMI
related problems.

36.202.2 Immunity: Radiated Fields If operated in the midst of the conditions
outlined in EMC standard EN60601-1-2
(Radiated Immunity 3 V/m), fields in excess of
0 V/m in the frequency ranges of 520-534
MHz and 645-660 MHz may cause loss of
telemetry.
