Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing of Implantable Neurostimulators Exposed to Metal Detectors
This paper presents results of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing of three implantable neurostimulators exposed to the magnetic fields emitted from several walk-through and hand-held metal detectors. The motivation behind this testing comes from numerous adverse event reports involving active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) and security systems that have been received by the Food a...
متن کاملElectromagnetic compatibility of implantable neurostimulators to RFID emitters
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to investigate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of implantable neurostimulators with the emissions from radio frequency identification (RFID) emitters. METHODS Six active implantable neurostimulators with lead systems were tested for susceptibility to electromagnetic fields generated by 22 RFID emitters. These medical devices have been approved for...
متن کاملAdhoc electromagnetic compatibility testing of non-implantable medical devices and radio frequency identification
BACKGROUND The use of radiofrequency identification (RFID) in healthcare is increasing and concerns for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pose one of the biggest obstacles for widespread adoption. Numerous studies have documented that RFID can interfere with medical devices. The majority of past studies have concentrated on implantable medical devices such as implantable pacemakers and implan...
متن کاملPersonal medical electronic devices and walk-through metal detector security systems: assessing electromagnetic interference effects
BACKGROUND There have been concerns that Electromagnetic security systems such as walk-through metal detectors (WTMDs) can potentially cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) in certain active medical devices including implantable cardiac pacemakers and implantable neurostimulators. Incidents of EMI between WTMDs and active medical devices also known as personal medical electronic devices (PME...
متن کاملElectromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
According to IEC 61000-1-1 [148], ―Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an equipment or system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.‖ The first part of the definition, ―ability ............to function ............in its............ environment‖ fits well with the afor...
