REFERENCE MANUAL
14.0 Safety - Electromagnetic Interference
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices or
may be affected by other equipment in the vicinity. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to other devices or is affected by other equipment, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the measures listed in Section 12.0.
This equipment uses wireless LAN (WLAN) radios for transferring images. The WLAN power
levels and antenna configurations have been tested and certified compliant through specific
absorption rate (SAR) limits set by FCC/IC Canada (Less than 1.6W/kG) with separations as
small as 0 cm between the panel antennas and human tissue. While compliant, it is still
recommended to reduce exposure when possible by:
• Positioning subject to be X-rayed away from the antennas (this also helps reduce image
transfer time).
• Removing the X-ray Detector promptly when X-ray exposure is complete.
The X-ray Detector does meet the IEC 60601 Safety definition for essential performance.
However, some degradation of the image acquired and displayed is acceptable (e.g. small
amount of noise, pixelation, video artifact, etc.) if the degradation would not affect the diagnosis
or treatment. Images acquired shall be normal when the immunity interference stops. May
require User intervention to clear an error message or continue operation.
