PRODUCT DESCRIPTION WTD 12.5.23 Client and Equipment Under Test (EUT) Information Company Name: Alcon Laboratories, Inc. Address: 20511 Lake Forest Drive City, State, Zip: Lake Forest, CA 92630 Test Requested By: Thai Lam Model: Centurion® Footswitch Information Provided by the Party Requesting the Test Functional Description of the EUT (Equipment Under Test): The Centurion® Vision System utilizes the Centurion® Vision System footswitch. It has a foot pedal and on/off toe switches (horizontal and vertical). The Centurion® footswitch can be used wirelessly or can be wired to the console. The footswitch contains radio transmitter module and operates in the frequency band of 2.4 GHz. Testing Objective: To demonstrate compliance with FCC requirements for RF exposure for 2.1091 mobile devices Report No. ALCO0180.2 6/9

Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) WD.12.29.11 OVERVIEW Human exposure to RF emissions from mobile devices (47 CFR §2.1091) may be evaluated based on the MPE limits adopted by the FCC for electric and magnetic field strength and/or power density, as appropriate, since exposures are assumed to occur at distances of 20 cm or more from persons. ANSI C95.1-1992 specifies a minimum separation distance of 20 cm for performing reliable field measurements to determine adherence to MPE limits. If the minimum separation distance between a transmitter and nearby persons is more than 20 cm under normal operating conditions, compliance with MPE limits may be determined at such distance from the transmitter. When applicable, operation instructions and prominent warning labels may be used to alert the exposed persons to maintain a specified distance from the transmitter or to limit their exposure durations and usage conditions to ensure compliance. If the use of warning labels on a transmitter is not effective or desirable, the alternative of performing SAR evaluation with the device at its closest range to persons under normal operating conditions may be used. The field strength and power density limits adopted by the FCC are based on whole-body averaged exposure and the assumption of RF field levels relate most accurately to estimating whole-body averaged SAR. This means some local values of exposures exceeding the stated field strength and power density limits may not necessarily imply non-compliance if the spatial average of spatially averaged RF fields over the exposed portions of a person’s body does not exceed the limits. COMPLIANCE WITH 2.1091 “Mobile devices that operate in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service, the Personal Communications Services, the Satellite Communications Services, the General Wireless Communications Service, the Wireless Communications Service, the Maritime Services and the Specialized Mobile Radio Service authorized under subpart H of part 22 of this chapter, parts 24, 25, 26 and 27 of this chapter, part 80 of this chapter (ship earth stations devices only) and part 90 of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use if they operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more, or if they operate at frequencies above 1.5 GHz and their ERP is 3 watts or more. Unlicensed personal communications service devices, unlicensed millimeter wave devices and unlicensed NII devices authorized under §§15.253, 15.255, and 15.257, and subparts D and E of part 15 of this chapter are also subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use if their ERP is 3 watts or more or if they meet the definition of a portable device as specified in §2.1093(b) requiring evaluation under the provisions of that section. All other mobile and unlicensed transmitting devices are categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use, except as specified in §§1.1307(c) and 1.1307(d) of this chapter. Applications for equipment authorization of mobile and unlicensed transmitting devices subject to routine environmental evaluation must contain a statement confirming compliance with the limits specified in paragraph (d) of this section as part of their application.” The EUT will only be used with a separation distance of 20 centimeters or greater between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1091(b). Per 47 CFR 1.1310, the EUT meets the General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits listed in Table 1. COMPLIANCE WITH FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance V05 The 802.15.4 based radio located within the product operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The radio transmits through its own antennas and is not co-located with any other radio. "KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05" provides the procedures, requirements, and authorization policies for mobile and portable devices. Section 7.1 best fits the exposure condition described in this report. Since this mobile device is categorically excluded from routine evaluation; simple calculations may be used to estimate the power density to demonstrate compliance with 47 CFR 1.1310 requirements. The attached estimate shows MPE limits are met at a 20 cm boundary. Report No. ALCO0180.2 7/9
