title: Parks Medical Flo-Lab 2100-SX may interpret IR emissions from CenTrak RTLS as user commands.
abstract: The Parks Medical Flo-Lab 2100-SX vascular laboratory system may react to infrared (IR) emissions from the CenTrak real-time locating system (RTLS) as if they were remote-control commands, causing the Flo-Lab to operate without user action. Parks Medical plans to offer a redesigned remote control to eliminate susceptibility of its product to IR interference. In addition, CenTrak has designed an assessment tool that will help identify devices that may be vulnerable to IR interference from its RTLS.
