16 Chapter 3: Safety
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration
The Edge ultrasound system contains an IEEE 802.11 transmitter that utilizes the ISM frequency band from 2.412 to
2.4835 GHz and implements two methods of transmission:
• IEEE 802.11b with Complementary Code Keying (CCK), Differential Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK),
and Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying (DBPSK) at 16 dB
• IEEE 802.11g with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 13 dBm
WARNING:
Other equipment, even equipment that complies with CISPR emission requirements,
can interfere with the Edge ultrasound system.
Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration - Electromagnetic Emissions
The Edge ultrasound system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the Edge ultrasound system should assure that it is used in such an
environment.

ClSPR 11
Group 1 The Edge ultrasound system uses RF energy only for
its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are
very low and are not likely to cause any interference in
nearby electronic equipment.
