Industrial equipment
You may need to avoid using or working near high-voltage equipment, sources of high electrical
current, magnetic fields, or other EMI sources. Here are examples of such equipment:
▪
Electric furnaces used in the manufacturing of steel
▪
Induction heating equipment and induction furnaces, such as kilns
▪
Industrial magnets or large magnets, such as those used in surface grinding and electromagnetic
cranes
▪
Dielectric heaters used to heat plastic and dry glue
▪
Electric arc and resistance welding equipment
▪
Broadcasting antennas of AM, FM, shortwave radio, and TV stations
▪
Microwave transmitters. Note that microwave ovens are unlikely to affect cardiac monitors.
▪
Power plants, large generators, and transmission lines. Low voltage power lines are unlikely to
affect your cardiac monitor.
Radio transmitters
Determining a safe distance between the antenna of a radio transmitter and a cardiac monitor
depends on many factors such as transmitter power, frequency, and the antenna type. To avoid
interference, the minimum distances are as follows:
Two-way radio transmitter antenna (less than 3 W) – At least 15 cm (6 in)
Portable radio transmitter antenna (3 to 15 W) – At least 30 cm (12 in)
Commercial and government vehicle-mounted radio transmitter antenna (15 to 30 W) – At
least 60 cm (24 in)
Other transmitter antennas (125 to 250 W) – At least 2.75 m (9 ft). For transmission power levels
higher than 250 W, contact a Medtronic representative for more information.
