EMI Interference
It is a known fact that electronic devices that emit radio
frequencies may interfere with the operation of other electronic
devices. This has become a significant concern in the health
care community because of the proliferation of intentional
electronic radiators such as cellular phones, paging systems,
walkie-talkies, and wireless network LANs. The critical care
areas such as intensive care, operating rooms, and emergency
care are of special concern and incidents have been observed
with apnea monitors, wheel chairs, and ventilators.
The FDA and organizations such as AAMI, IEEE, and IEC have
started to address this complicated issue through their respective
working groups. The ANSI C63.6 working group made up of
industry and the FDA released a technical information report
(TIR). This TIR provides a means to evaluate critical care
medical devices for electromagnetic interference problems by
the clinical and biomedical staff using an ad hoc test method.
