D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason,
EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern. (See C.1). A person using one of these
devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your chair without you knowing it.
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
1. The level of EM is measured in volts per metre (V/m). Every power wheelchair can
resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its "immunity level".
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a 20 V/m
immunity level will protect the power wheelchair user from the more common sources
of radio waves.
3. The configuration tested and found to be immune to at least 20 V/m is:
Quickie/Sopur P-220 power wheelchair with a right-hand mounted joystick system,
18" seat width, 18" seat depth, dual-post height-adjustable armrests, fixed tapered
legrests with one-piece solid footplate and Gp 24 gel cell batteries.
4. The following specialty input devices have an unknown effect on the immunity level
because they have not been tested with the P-220 and the P&G Pilot+ control system:
•Breath Control
•Tri-Switch Head Array
•Proximity Head Array
•Proportional Mini-Joystick/Chin Control
•Buddy Button
•Wafer Board
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty control
input device known not to be immune to 20 V/m, or not known, should exercise
care around known sources of EMI.
add accessories or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase the
risk of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppliers have
unknown EMI properties.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure to indicate
whether there was a radio wave source near your chair at the time.
Contact: Sunrise Medical, Customer Service Department at (800) 333-4000.
G. EMI FROM CHAIR
The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic fields such as emitted by
alarm systems of shops.
