NOTE
The recommended separation distance guidelines in the following table may not apply to all
situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects, and people.
The information provided here, in conjunction with
provides guidance on conducted and radiated interference from portable and fixed RF
transmitting equipment.

The conducted RF test level is 3 V, and the system has a compliance level of 3 mV. For the
system, this means that the imaging system is extremely sensitive to RF interference in the
transducer passband. For example, for a 5-MHz imaging transducer, the frequency range of
interference from a 3-V/m field may be from 2 to 10 MHz and manifest itself as described in
"Electromagnetic Interference" on page
The 0.3 mV level is where the interference becomes acceptable to some clinical specialists.
Sensitivity to interference is dependent on operating mode and imaging control settings. The
order of increasing sensitivity to interference as a function of operating mode is 2D mode, 3D
mode, M-mode, Color mode, PW Doppler mode, and CW Doppler mode. The system is more
sensitive to interference in the CW Doppler or PW Doppler operating modes, but the
