Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection
from structures, objects and people.
a
Field 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 Novi™ system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Novi™
system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Novi™ system
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Novi™ system
Table 6 of EN60601-1-2
The Novi™ system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the Novi™ system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Novi™ system as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can
be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of
the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection
from structures, objects and people.
WARNING: H) The Novii system may be interfered with Radiofrequency identification (RFID)
systems (tag and reader). Ensure RFID reader is placed as far as possible from
the Novii Interface. If an RFID tag is placed on the Novii POD or Novii Interface
and you experience poor quality data (Data transmission loss, gaps in FHR data,
Gaps in MHR data, uninterpretable uterine activity) please remove the RFID tag
and RFID reader and check again the Novii System data quality. If the presence
of the RFID correlates with the poor performance of the Novii System, please
report the issue to your distributor or to Monica Healthcare and do not use the
RFID system in conjunction with the Novii System.
