frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) from portable and mobile RF
communications equipment or other strong or nearby radio-frequency sources,
could result in performance disruption of the system. Evidence of disruption
may include equipment ceasing to operate, or other incorrect functioning. If
this occurs, survey the site of disruption, and take the following actions to
eliminate the source(s).
- Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate disruptive equipment.
- Relocate or reorient interfering equipment.
- Increase the distance between interfering equipment and your system.
- Manage use of frequencies close to the system frequencies.
- Remove devices that are highly susceptible to EMI.
- Lower power from internal sources within the facility control (such as paging systems).
- Label devices susceptible to EMI.
- Educate clinical staff to recognize potential EMI-related problems.
- Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding).
- Restrict use of personal communicators (cell phones, computers) in areas with devices susceptible to EMI.
- Share relevant EMI information with others, particularly when evaluating new equipment purchases that may generate EMI.
- Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Standards (3V/meter EMI immunity, limit interference level to 0.0014 V/meter).
