The customer or the user of the DoseAware system can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
DoseAware system as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment:
A minimum distance of 20 cm between a PDM and a mobile phone or
•
regular electronic device (e.g. a computer).
• A minimum distance of 50 cm between a PDM and a medical device or
intended radiator (e.g. a wireless router).
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
During communication between the Base Station and PDMs, personal data is
transmitted in open air.
Be careful when using a PDM while being near a patient and make sure that
the PDM does not fall or comes in contact with other equipment (such as a
catheter) to endanger the procedure.
Do not move a PDM to an unknown environment (for example another
hospital). If you are visiting unknown environments, there is a risk that
personal data is registered there. For correct registration of staff dose data,
only use the PDM within designated environment.
Philips Medical Systems declares that all CE marked DoseAware products
incorporating Radio and Telecoms Terminal Equipment functionality are in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC.
We recognize that the security of Philips Medical Systems products is an
important part of your facility's security-in depth strategy. However, these
benefits can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multilayered strategy (including policies, processes, and technologies) to protect
information and systems from external and internal threats.
Following industry-standard practice, your strategy should address physical
security, operational security, procedural security, risk management, security
policies, and contingency planning. The practical implementation of
technical security elements varies by site and may employ a number of
technologies, including firewalls, virus-scanning software, authentication
technologies, etc.
As with any computer-based system, protection must be provided such that
firewalls and/or other security devices are in place between the medical
system and any externally accessible systems.
The USA Veterans Administration has developed a widely used Medical
Device Isolation Architecture for this purpose. Such perimeter and network
defenses are essential elements in a comprehensive medical device security
strategy.
