At the request of Siemens, the tests were performed by Chomerics Test Services (CTS) of Woburn, Massachusetts. The assessment will determine the compliance or non-compliance with the requirements set up by the FCC Part 15 Subparts B and C. George Kokovidis from Siemens was present during testing. Testing was performed on April 28, 2000. 1.1.2Requirements The requirements for the sequence of tests performed on the Biomedical Telemetry Transmitter (608- 614MHz) are as follows: FCC Subpart B Radiated Electromagnetic Emissions FCC Part 15 Subpart B radiated emission requirements for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). FCC Subpart C Radiated Electromagnetic Emissions The limit for the fundamental signal is FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.242 paragraph C. 200mV/m or 86dBuV/m The limit for all other signals including spurious and harmonic emissions is FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.209. TEST SERVICES Siemens Biomedical Telemetry Transmitter (608-614MHz) Document #: TR2585.00 Date: May 10, 2000 Page 5 of 20 1.2TEST SUMMARY The terms "Passed" or "Failed" in this section are intended to guide the reader as to whether or not the EUT met the minimum requirements that can be interpreted from the in Section 1.5. The "Results" paragraph in each test section to follow and the test data sheets will outline specifically how the EUT performed during each test. FCC Subpart B Radiated EmissionsPASSED FCC Subpart C Radiated EmissionsPASSED 1.2.1Summary of Recommendations The Siemens Biomedical Telemetry Transmitter (608-614MHz) will require no modifications in order to insure compliance with the FCC Part 15 Subparts B and C. Please note that if any modifications and or fixes were implemented to the EUT to achieve compliance, other approaches to solving the problem may exist. In addition, any EMI/EMC shielding products listed in this report may be substituted with an equivalent. 1.3Administrative Data 1.3.1Test Facility Chomerics test facility is recognized under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for NVLAP Codes 12F01; FCC test methods – 47 CFR Part 15 – Digital Devices, 12F01a; Conducted Emissions, and 12F01b; Radiated Emissions under NVLAP Accreditation Number 100296-0.
