Medical Telemetry Systems
VitalSense has been designed in accordance with the FDA advisory,
“FDA Public Health Advisory: Risk of Electromagnetic Interference with
Medical Telemetry Systems,” July 10, 2000; and in accordance with FDA
Guidance Document, “Wireless Medical Telemetry Risks and
Recommendations.” In regard to those advisories:
• The VitalSense system does not operate in the TV or PLMRS bands
at 174-216 MHz and 450-470 MHz.
• VitalSense does not operate within the frequency bands 26.96-27.28
MHz, utilized by remote control devices.
Electrostatic Discharge Effects on Monitor
The VitalSense Monitor is designed to recover from air discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) effects of 12 kV or less to any surface of
the monitor. If an ESD discharge of greater than 12 kV is directly applied
to the monitor, it may result in the monitor display momentarily going
blank. If this occurs, the VitalSense Monitor will refresh the monitor
display either when any button is pressed, or if a sensor transmission is
received.
