Electromagnetic Compatibility - Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration
The Teladoc Health system complies with IEC 60601-1-2 4th edition, General Requirements for Safety—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility. Performance of the device is unaffected by exposure to the compliance levels described in Tables 1,2,3 and 4 in the following section.
Special precautions and installation information for the Lite 4 for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are provided below:
- Equipment in hospital environments, including the Lite 4 and other portable or mobile communications equipment, can produce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), which may affect the function of these devices. Such effects are prevented by use of equipment with EMI characteristics proven below recognized limits, as identified in the tables below.
-
In the event of suspected interference from other equipment, which prevents the proper functioning of the Lite 4, contact Teladoc Health and discontinue use of the system until the problem can be remedied.
The following tables contain the Manufacturer’s declaration and additional information required by IEC 60601-1-2.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Lite 4, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommended separation distance: d= 1.2 ![]() 80 MHz to 800 MHz 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz d= 1.2 d= 2.3 where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency rangeb. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

Table 4: Recommended separation distances
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Lite 4.
The Lite 4 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Lite 4 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Lite 4 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.
NOTEs
- At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
- These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
