Frequency Management and Channel Selection
Management of the RF environment in a facility is important to the overall
performance of any wireless system. Philips Medical Systems cannot
control what wireless devices are used in a healthcare facility, but we will
work with you to select the best frequencies to use in order to avoid
interference with other wireless devices used within the hospital.
Frequency Management
Frequency management is the selection of frequencies for wireless devices
within a facility to prevent interference between devices.
Frequency Management Responsibility
Frequency management is the responsibility of the hospital. Philips
Medical Systems has no control over the RF environment in a hospital. If
interference exists at the operating frequencies, system performance will be
affected. Careful selection of frequencies for all wireless devices used
within a facility is important to prevent interference between them.
Channel Selection
The MX40 has two radios – the Smart-hopping radio and the Short Range
Radio (optional). Channel selection for the two radios is different for a 1.4
GHz Smart-hopping system versus a 2.4 GHz Smart-hopping system.
Therefore they will be discussed separately.
Channel Selection for 1.4 GHz Smart-hopping Systems
The 1.4 GHz MX40 operates in the FCC-allocated, protected Wireless
Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) in the 1395-1400 and 1427-1432 MHz
bands. Operation of this equipment requires the prior coordination with a
frequency coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical
Telemetry Service.
The Smart-hopping channels that can be used will be determined by this
coordination process. A minimum of three Smart-hopping channels is
required for proper operation of the system, but using more channels will
improve performance. Smart-hopping channels are configured in the
Access Point Controller.
Frequency Coordination (WMTS only)
2-6 Installation
Operation of this equipment requires the prior coordination with a
frequency coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical
Telemetry Service.
Frequency coordination is a registration and coordination process for
wireless medical telemetry devices used in the U.S.A. which operate in the
FCC-allocated, protected Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS)
bands (608-614 MHz, 1395-1400 MHz, 1427-1432 MHz). The MX40
operates in the 1395-1400 and 1427-1432 MHz bands.
Under U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, authorized
healthcare providers must register their WMTS devices with an authorized
Frequency Coordinator designated by the FCC. The American Society for
Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) is the current designated Frequency
Coordinator.
Registration/Coordination is a two-step process.
Step 1: Registration: The healthcare facility must register with ASHE. This
is done on-line, from the ASHE website (www.ashe.org - search on
keyword "WMTS"). Click on the link for Wireless Medical Telemetry
Service and you will come to the registration page. Fill out the details, and
pay the associated fee as per the instructions provided. You will receive
confirmation of this registration. Confirmation must be received before
proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Frequency Coordination: Along with confirmation of
registration, you will receive access information necessary to perform the
second step, frequency coordination. This step involves logging the
equipment and frequencies used into the FCC’s database, so as to identify
any existing potential interference and to help prevent potential future
interference. Like registration, coordination is accomplished via the
ASHE website. Click on the links for Wireless Medical Telemetry Service
and then Frequency Coordination. The way the coordination process is
executed as of today, it will need to be repeated twice for the ITS4840A
system; once for 1395-1400 MHz band, and then again for the 1427-1432
MHz band, both of which are used concurrently by the Philips product.
There is a separate fee for each coordination request. Coordination is
executed by a company named Comsearch, on behalf of ASHE.
To fill in the frequency coordination forms, you’ll need to know the
following:
The county. Latitude and longitude that represents the center of the area where the
transmitting devices will be deployed. Comsearch can help provide
this information; www.comsearch.com provides contact information.
The name/s of the Clinical Unit/s using the devices (e.g. ICU4,
CCU-West, ER1, Step-Down North, etc)

Short-Range Radio Channel Selection for 1.4GHz
Smart-hopping Systems
When the MX40 is to be connected to an IntelliVue Cableless Measurement
device, the Short-range radio channel assignment is handled at the MX40.
When the MX40 is to be connected to an IntelliVue Patient Monitor, the
Short-range radio channel assignment is handled at the patient monitor.
The Short Range Radio operates in the 2.4 GHz band, and is therefore
subject to interference from other devices that operate in this band like
802.11b, g wireless LANs, microwave ovens, Bluetooth radios, etc.. The
most likely interference will come from 802.11b, g wireless LANs.
In order to avoid interference, the Short Range Radio channels should be
chosen to operate at different frequencies as illustrated in the diagram
below, and as captured in the table below.
For example, if the hospital has an 802.11 deployment using 802.11 channels
1, 6, and 11, Short Range Radio channels that operate at frequencies in
between and above these channels would be SRR channel 15 (between
802.11 channels 1 and 6), SRR channel 20 (between 802.11 channels 6 and
11) and SRR channels 25 and 26 (above 802.11 channel 11).
The table also lists some Short Range Radio channels that may be used if a
frequency survey is performed and a power level check is done to ensure
that the frequency is "clear" (has a power level < -80dBm).

The diagram below is for use in 1.4GHz Smart-hopping installations when
trying to select the best available Short-range radio channels.
Note — Channel overlap as shown in this diagram is not totally accurate.
There is not sufficient resolution to pick channels solely by using this
diagram. Use it in conjunction with the tables provided.
SRR Channel Selection for 1.4GHz Installations
*Requires RF Frequency Survey and RF Power Level Check for clear channels. Clear SRR channels have a power level < -80dBm.
Installation 2-11
Smart-hopping and SRR Channel Selection for 2.4GHz
Smart-hopping Systems
For 2.4 GHz Smart-hopping systems, both the Smart-hopping radio and the
Short-Range Radio operate in the 2.4 GHz band, and therefore are subject to
interference from other devices that operate in this band like 802.11b, g
wireless LANs, microwave ovens, Bluetooth radios, etc.. The most likely
interference will come from 802.11b, g wireless LANs. In addition, if the
Short Range Radio will be used, interference between the Smart-hopping
radio and Short-Range Radio must be avoided by separating these channels
by a minimum of 5 MHz.
In order to avoid interference, the Smart-hopping and Short-Range Radio
channels should be chosen to operate at different frequencies as captured in
the tables that follow.
A minimum of three Smart-hopping channels is required for operation of
the system, but we strongly recommend selecting the maximum of six
channels in order to improve performance.
For example, if a 2.4GHz Smart-hopping system is being deployed without
the Short Range Radio in a hospital with an 802.11 deployment of channels
1, 6 and 11, the best channels to use would be the channels listed as
"Primary" in the table, "802.11 Channel 1,611 Deployment", – 13, 14, 28, 42,
43, 44, 45, 46, 47. The best six of these Smart-hopping channels across the
whole coverage area should be selected. A clear Smart-hopping channel is
defined as having a power level of < -90dBm.
If a 2.4GHz Smart-hopping system is being deployed with the Short-Range
Radio in a hospital with an 802.11 deployment of channels 1, 6 and 11, a
number of different deployment options are given in the tables. The clearest
frequencies should be assigned to the Short Range Radio, and then the
Smart-hopping channels can be assigned. So if SRR channels 25 and 26 are
selected, then the best Smart-hopping channels to use would be the
channels listed as "Primary" in the table, "802.11 Channel 1,611
Deployment", – 13, 14, 28, (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 should not be used because
they will interfere with the Short Range Radio). In addition to these three
Smart-hopping channels, best three channels of the "Secondary" (0, 29) and
"Tertiary" (12, 15, 27) channels listed should be selected.

Battery Information
Battery Safety Information
Warnings
The battery compartment door must be closed during defibrillation. Use the Philips Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery or 3 Duracell Alkaline
batteries, size AA, MN 1500, 1.5V, to ensure specified performance and
correct battery gauge reporting. Outdated, mismatched, or poor-quality
batteries can give unacceptable performance (e.g., insufficient
Battery-Low warning time). If you are using disposable batteries, the
use of fresh high-quality alkaline batteries is strongly recommended.
Certain failure conditions, such as short circuits, can cause a battery to
overheat during use. High temperatures can cause burns to the patient
and/or user. If the MX40 becomes hot to the touch, remove it from the
patient and place it aside until it cools. Then remove the batteries and
discard them. Have the MX40 checked by your service provider to
identify the cause of overheating.
If you receive a TELE BATTERY LOW, TELE BATTERY EMPTY,
REPLACE BATTERY T, or TELE BATTERY TEMP alarm, the batteries
must be promptly replaced. If these conditions are not corrected, they
4-12 Operating Modes
will result in a device shutdown and cessation of monitoring.
Activity
When to Perform
Perform a visual inspection.
Before inserting a battery in the
MX40.
Charge the battery.
Upon receipt, after use, or if a low
battery state is indicated. To optimize
performance, a fully (or almost fully)
discharged battery should be charged
as soon as possible.
Clean the battery
At each patient discharge, or in cases
when the battery is exposed to
contaminants.
Charge stored batteries to at least
40% of their capacity every six
months.
When not in use for an extended
period of time.
Decommission the battery
When any of the following INOPs are
displayed on the MX40:
TELE SERVICE BATTERY
TELE BATTERY TEMP
Disposable batteries should be removed from the MX40 at the end of
the battery’s useful life to prevent leakage.
If battery leakage should occur, use caution in removing the battery.
The leaked substance may cause eye or skin irritation. Avoid contact
with skin. Clean the battery compartment according to the instructions
in the Maintenance section. Wash hands.
To eliminate the risk of electrical shock or burn, do not carry loose
batteries on your person, e.g. in clothing pockets.
Caution
Use of AA Lithium batteries or batteries with terminal voltage >1.6V may
cause damage to the device.
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery Care
Care of the rechargeable battery begins when you receive a new battery for
use and continues throughout the life of the battery. The table below lists
battery care activities and when they should be performed.
Operating Modes 4-13
Rechargeable batteries are charged using the IntelliVue CL Charging
Station. For information on charging station use, see Charging Li-ion Rechargeable Batteries p. 5-7 .
Note — The battery capacity of re-chargeable batteries degrades over time
and number of recharge cycles. Toward the end of its useful life, the battery
capacity may be reduced by 25-30%. If this reduced battery life is
unacceptable based on your use model, Philips recommends replacing the
rechargeable battery sooner.
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery Storage
When storing rechargeable batteries, make sure that the battery terminals
do not come into contact with metallic objects or other conductive
materials.
If batteries are stored for an extended period of time, they should be stored
in a cool, dry place, ideally at 15oC (60oF), with a state of charge of 20% to
40%. Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging process.
The batteries should not be stored at a temperature outside the range of
-20oC (-4oF) to 50oC (122oF).
Stored batteries should be should be charged to at least 40% of their
capacity every 6 months.". They should be charged to full capacity prior to
use.
Note — Storing batteries at temperatures above 38
o
C (100oF) for extended
periods of time could significantly reduce the batteries' life expectancy.
Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package.
Use caution when handling the batteries; misuse or abuse could cause
bodily injury and/or equipment damage.
Do not short circuit - take care that the terminals do not contact metal
(e.g. coins) or other conductive materials during transport and storage.
Do not crush, drop or puncture - mechanical abuse can lead to internal
damage and internal short circuits that may not be visible externally.
Do not apply reverse polarity. Do not incinerate batteries or expose them to temperatures above 60
(140oF).
o
C
If a battery has been dropped or banged against a hard surface, whether
damage is visible externally or not:
discontinue use. dispose of the battery in accordance with the disposal instructions.

Inserting/Removing Batteries
Warning
Arrhythmia relearning is initiated whenever the MX40 is powered down
for one minute or longer. Be sure to check your patient’s arrhythmia
annotation for accuracy whenever relearn has occurred.
Caution
Remove the batteries before storing the MX40 for an extended period of
time.
The battery compartment is located on the back of the MX40, accessible by
opening the compartment door from the bottom. It accommodates three
AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries or the Philips Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
Only these batteries should be used.
Note— Lithium-ion batteries should be fully charged prior to first use.
Important— Do not use other rechargeable batteries. Use of this type of
battery will adversely affect:
Battery gauge performance Battery low warnings Battery life performance
Inserting Batteries
Insert the rechargeable lithium-ion battery using the
following procedure:
Open the battery compartment by lifting up on both bottom sides of the
compartment door.
1 Remove the AA battery tray if present.
Operating Modes 4-15
2 Insert the battery pack so that the raised tab is aligned with the cutout
in the base of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment
door.
3 Close the battery compartment door.

Removing the Batteries
Batteries should be removed when the MX40 is not in use or is being stored.
To remove the batteries, open the battery compartment door and push from
the opening at the bottom of the compartment to pop the batteries out.
Device settings (patient cable type, SpO2 mode, volume, etc.) are retained
when the batteries are removed.
If you remove good AA batteries to turn off the MX40, keep them together
as a set for later re-use so that all batteries will have the same level of power
remaining.
Important— Do not "store" disposable AA batteries by leaving them in the
incorrect polarity position in the MX40.
Be careful not to short circuit the batteries. Batteries can get hot when
shorted. Short circuits are caused when a piece of metal touches both the
positive and negative terminals simultaneously. More than a momentary
short circuit will generally reduce the battery life. In case of a short circuit,
discard the batteries, or just the shorted one if the batteries are new.

Charging Lithium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
The li-ion rechargeable battery is recharged using the IntelliVue CL
Charging Station.
To charge a battery, place it onto a charger slot on the charging station. The
battery power indicators will supply information about the charge status.
Warning
Always use the supplied power cord with the grounded mains plug to
connect the charging station to a grounded AC mains socket. Never
adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an ungrounded AC
mains socket.
Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple socket outlets. If a
multiple portable socket outlet without an approved isolation
transformer is used, the interruption of its protective grounding may
result in leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual ground
leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits.
Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of the system.
Battery Power Indicators
There are various indications which help you keep track of the battery
power status.
LEDs on the charging station slots battery status information on both the MX40 and the charging station's
display
INOP messages
The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the
battery's actual maximum capacity which may lessen as the battery ages.
Charging Station LEDs
The nine charger slot LEDs show the battery status of the device in their
slot and are switched off if no battery is inserted.
If a battery is put on a charging station slot, the corresponding LED will
flash yellow until the battery's current state has been identified. Then a
beep is issued and the LED reflects the battery status as described in the
table below.

Battery Status on the Charging Station Display
The IntelliVue CL Charging Station display provides a quick overview of
all the connected devices and their battery status. The screen is arranged in
the same layout as the charger slots.
Battery Lifetime Management
The lifetime of a li-ion battery depends on the frequency and duration of
use. When properly cared for, the useful life is approximately 4 years or 500
complete charge-discharge cycles, whichever comes first. In addition,
experience indicates that the incidence of failure may increase with battery
service life due to the accumulated stresses of daily use. We therefore
strongly recommend that li-ion batteries be replaced after 2 years or 500

The MX40 Repair Strategy is Unit Exchange worldwide through Philips
part centers.
MX40 Repair Strategy 7-1
Tools Required
Repair of the MX40 requires the following tools:
MX40 Service Adapter Cable PC running the IntelliVue Support Tool - Mark2 Internet Connection to the Philips Software License Server
7-2 MX40 Repair Strategy
Software License Transfer
The MX40 uses Software Licensing functionality to track customer
information, software revisions, and features enabled. Software Licensing
allows service personnel to easily determine what products, features, and
revisions are installed at a particular customer site.
Exchange devices will arrive without a software license.
The software license from the defective device needs to be transferred to the
exchange device using the IntelliVue Support Tool - Mark2. For more
information, see the Support Tool Instructions for Use, p/n 453564296161.
MX40 Repair Strategy 7-3
Note — The MX40 connects to a PC via a USB port and uses a USB cable,
but the MX40 does not operate as a standard USB device. The MX40 does
not support the use of a cable longer than 3 ft. Longer cables may result in
an unacceptable drop in voltage.

Technical Alarms (INOPs)
Technical Alarms, or INOPs (inoperative conditions), are sourced at the
MX40, the ST/AR algorithm running at the Information Center, or the
IntelliVue Patient Monitor. They identify inoperative conditions (that is
conditions where the system is not operating properly and therefore cannot
measure or detect alarm conditions reliably). There are four levels of
Technical Alarms:
Severe - Monitoring and alarm generation are disabled. Visual alarm
indicator on the MX40. Audible tone at the Information Center. Must be
acknowledged by a clinician.
Hard - Monitoring and alarm generation are disabled. Visual alarm
indicator on the MX40. Audible tone at the Information Center.
If the hard INOP is "latched", the sound will be silenced, but the
message will remain on the display until resolution of the offending
condition.
Soft - Monitoring and alarms remain active. Visual alarm indicator on
the MX40 and at the Information Center. No audible tones are
generated at the Information Center
Red/Yellow - Replace Battery and ECG Leads Off INOPs may be
configured to display as either Red or Yellow Technical Alarms.
Note - The ECG Leads Off INOP will initially display as a cyan

Intended Uses of MX40
The MX40 is to be used primarily as a traditional telemetry medical device.
It connects to the IntelliVue Information Center by way of a wireless
network. When the MX40 is connected the IntelliVue Information Center
the IntelliVue Information Center provides the primary patient monitoring
and alarming function. The MX40 does not automatically provide local
monitoring or alarming when connected to the Information Center.
The MX40 can provide time-limited local monitoring when it is not
connected to the wireless network.
Unlike a traditional bedside monitor which operates on AC power, the
MX40 is powered by battery and cannot provide continuous monitoring.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Medical electrical equipment can either generate or receive electromagnetic
interference. This product has been evaluated for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) with the appropriate accessories according to IEC
60601-1-2:2001, the international standard for EMC for medical electrical
equipment. This IEC standard has been adopted in the European Union as
the European Norm, EN 60601-1-2:2001.
Radio frequency (RF) interference from nearby transmitting devices can
degrade performance of the product. Electromagnetic compatibility with
surrounding devices should be assessed prior to using the product.
Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment
can also affect the performance of medical equipment. See your service
provider for assistance with the minimum recommended separation
distance between RF communications equipment and the product.
The cables, sensors/transducers, and other accessories for which compliance
is claimed are listed in the Service and User documentation accompanying
the product.
Warnings
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified
in the product service and user documentation can result in increased
electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity of the product.
Short-range radio connections are subject to interruption due to
interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including
microwaves, bluetooth devices, and DECT phones. Outside the
frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band
according to IEC 60601-1-2, the short-range radio connection is immune
up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80MHz to 2.5 GHz. Depending
on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may
occur for an extended period. Any interruption of the signal due to
interference, moving out of range, or for other reasons is indicated with
a Tele Disconnected INOP message.
The product should not be used next to or stacked with other
equipment. If you must stack the product, you must check that normal
operation is possible in the necessary configuration before the product
is used on patients.
9-6 Safety Standards & Specifications
Reducing Electromagnetic Interference
The MX40 and associated accessories can be susceptible to interference
from other RF energy sources and continuous, repetitive, power line bursts.
Examples of other sources of RF interference are other medical electrical
devices, cellular products, information technology equipment, and
radio/television transmission. If interference is encountered, as
demonstrated by artifact on the ECG or dramatic variations in physiological
parameter measurement values, attempt to locate the source. Assess the
following:
Is the interference due to misplaced or poorly applied electrodes or
sensors? If so, re-apply electrodes and sensors correctly according to
directions in Chapter 6.
Is the interference intermittent or constant? Does the interference occur only in certain locations? Does the interference occur only when in close proximity to certain
medical electrical equipment?
Once the source is located, attempt to attenuate the interference by
distancing the MX40 from the source as much as possible. If assistance is
needed, contact your local service representative.
Restrictions for Use
Artifact on ECG and other physiological waveforms caused by
electromagnetic interference should be evaluated by a physician or
physician authorized personnel to determine if it will negatively impact
patient diagnosis or treatment.
Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your
monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this
book. Portable and mobile radiofrequency (RF) communications equipment
can affect medical electrical equipment.
Accessories Compliant with EMC Standards
