The pods are rated IP21 according to the IEC 60529 standard for degree of protection provided by enclosure.
External surfaces of the pods have been tested as applied parts type BF per IEC 60601- 1 ed 3.1.
Wireless Communications
The Pods contain IEEE 802.15.4 RF transmitters with the following characteristics:
- Transmission frequency: 2.405 GHz to 2.48 GHz
- Modulation: Oset Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (OQPSK)
- Coding: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
- Transmission bandwidth: 2 MHz
- Eective isotropic radiated power: 0 dBm
Warning: The Pods have been tested and are in compliance with the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility)
requirements for emissions. In some situations it is still possible that radiated electromagnetic elds such
as those from portable and mobile devices may cause performance degradation. Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment can aect the iASSIST Knee System. Turning o 2.4GHz band Radio Frequency
(RF) devices around the system (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) can improve communication performance
between the Pods and the iASSIST Tablet.

equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected; and
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
