- Abstract:
- The paper presents our approaches upon the influence of a DECT communication system (1890 MHz carrier) and of a microwave oven (2450 MHz) upon two essential parameters of a neonate mechanical ventilator. As main measuring device, we used a Spectrum Analyzer SPECTRAN HF 60105 V4, alternatively equipped with Hyper LOG 60100 directive antenna and Omni LOG 90200 isotropic antenna. Aiming to exactly identify the cause and its level of influence, we performed the measurements both in the working environment of the ICU (applying the panning approach) and comparatively, more selective, inside an “isolated” ward of the Iasi Maternity hospital, unused due to renewal works. We correlate the changes of the set, programmable parameters with the spectrum and the level of the various disruptive sources. The paper ends with firm recommendations regarding the usage of these potential disturbers in the close vicinity of any modern I.C.U., fully equipped with high technology but very sensitive devices.
