چکیده
This paper deals with problematic of Electromagnetic Compatibility of Implantable Pacemaker. The ambient electromagnetic field can negatively influence the pacemaker functionality and also the wireless communication between its programmer and device. Electromagnetic compatibility parameters are tested by direct induction of interference signal to the inputs of cardiac pacemaker according to technical specification. The experimental tests were also made by generating of interference radio frequency signals to disturb the wireless telemetry communication. Streszczenie. Przeanalizowano problem kompatybilności elektromagnetycznej przy pracy stymulatora serca. Zewnętrzne pole elektromagnetyczne może negatywnie wpływać na pracę stymulatora i na komunikację bezprzewodową z programatorem. Przeprowadzono eksperymenty z bez[pośrednim zakłóceniem pracy zewnętrzną falą elektromagnetyczną. (Pomiary i analiza kompatybilności elektromagnetycznej stymulatora serca).

EMC’04/Sendai A STUDY ON IMPLANTABLE CARDIAC PACEMAKER EMI FROM CELLULAR RADIOS IN SEMI-ECHOIC ENVIRONMENTS ― FDTD Analysis and Experiments in Actual Train Carriage ―
Theoretical and experimental studies are conducted on the electromagnetic field (EMF) distributions excited inside train carriages and the implantable cardiac pacemaker EMC issue in the same environment. Both precise computer simulations and experiments using 800 MHz and 2 GHz transmitters in an actual train carriage confirm that excessively high EMF, high enough to affect pacemaker normal func...
متن کاملIs correction for metallic artefacts mandatory in cardiac SPECT/CT imaging in the presence of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads?
Introduction: Metallic artifacts due to pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads in CT images can produce artifactual uptake in cardiac SPECT/CT images. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the metallic artifacts due to pacemaker and ICD leads on myocardial SPECT/CT imaging. Methods: The study included 9 patients wh...
متن کاملErosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
متن کاملElectromagnetic 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 کاملPacemaker lead endocarditis with hiccups (Kalayci)
Background: Lead-related infections that might develop after pacemaker implantation associated with high mortality and morbidity rates are challenging to manage and pose high-cost. Patients with lead-related infections usually present with fever, chills and fatigue and the treatment can be challenging unless the implant system is extracted. Case presentation: A 66-year old male patient who und...
