THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO

RADIO WAVES

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forecast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general public is 2.0W/ kg averaged over ten grams of tissue and, is 1,6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue by IEEE Std 1528 for the head.

Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.

The highest SAR value for this Philips Xenium 9@9k model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 0,59W/kg for ICNIRP recommendation and 0,467W/kg for IEEE Std 1528.

For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.

This is particularly beneficial in emergency situations where quick and accurate diagnosis is paramount.

The scanner boasts advanced dose optimization techniques, including Smart Dose technology, which intelligently adjusts radiation dose based on the patient's size and the specific examination being performed. This feature not only protects patients from unnecessary exposure but also promotes safer imaging practices in compliance with current health regulations.

Philips also places a strong emphasis on patient comfort, and the CT9A9KBRN reflects this commitment. The system features a spacious bore that accommodates larger patients and reduces feelings of claustrophobia. Additionally, the design minimizes noise and vibration during the scanning process, contributing to a more pleasant experience for patients.

Connectivity and integration are other key characteristics of the CT9A9KBRN. The device can easily connect to hospital information systems (HIS) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), allowing for seamless data transfer and management. This connectivity ensures that healthcare professionals have quick access to patient images and information, enhancing workflow efficiency.

Furthermore, the CT9A9KBRN is equipped with state-of-the-art software that facilitates advanced imaging techniques, including 3D reconstructions and virtual colonoscopy. These capabilities allow radiologists to gain deeper insights into patients' conditions, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes.

In conclusion, the Philips CT9A9KBRN is a sophisticated imaging system that combines high-quality imaging, patient safety, and ease of use. Its advanced features and technologies make it an essential tool for hospitals and clinics seeking to improve diagnostic effectiveness and patient care in today's fast-paced healthcare environment.
