We had a thread about this a short time back, which I just went back and read but it dawns on me that an important question wasn’t asked. Do these low power transmitters require a harmonized frequency throughout EU and does such a thing truly exist or is it a matter of changing frequencies in various countries? Is that base on some upper level transmit power, or if it radiates intentionally at all it will at some harmonized frequency(ies). I made a quick look at the ETSI website and it implies certain harmonize frequencies but I could find what I was looking for.
It is a commercial device but will be used in and around hospitals by staff to record notes etc. I want to treat this as a computer rather than a medical accessory. Its useful in the data collection for patients but it doesn’t aid in the treatment etc. but I will take the risk planning ideas from the medical directive by insuring compliance with R&TTE and medical standard EMC limits and tests. But are there other obvious issues I’m overlooking here. I’m first going to get through North America and Western EU before I worry about China and other CB “outliers” for the moment. Essentially commercial wireless transcribing under EN55022, EN55024, RTTE, EN 60601 since I can’t control other than via warnings that the equipment shouldn’t use it around patient connected equipment etc. I haven’t seen the actual transmitter or specifications yet – but they should be less powerful than cell phones which seem to get carried around the hospital with abandon. Are the harmonized frequencies listed in the EU journal? - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
