and has discovered problematic frequencies in the floor near the doorway of the room. Facilities management and the plans for the building show no unusual materials in the floor of this area, just slab on grade. There are some large electrical panels near
the room (separated by a hallway) but they are quite close to rooms 1 and 2 with no issues there (installed for several years now).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">Does anyone have any suggestions or experience attempting to shield from this type of interference in the event it can’t be eliminated? Hologic does have a list of common
items that can cause issues, but no good suspects have been identified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
