ResMed VPAP IV ST manual

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic immunity

The VPAP device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the VPAP device should assure that the device is used in such an environment.

			distance in meters (m).
			Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
			determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a

NOTE 1: Ut is the AC mains voltage prior to application of the test level.

NOTE 2: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 3: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the VPAP device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the VPAP device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the VPAP device.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
