The objective of this study is to evaluate if some life-supporting medical electrical equipment can be affected by electromagnetic waves emitted by sources for the remote identification (RFID). In particular, we assessed the occurrence of electromagnetic interference with an in-situ testing method specifically developed, based on standard ANSI C63.18, within an intensive care unit. Some serious faults were identified, both related to the RFID sources and to power sources.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate if some life-supporting medical electrical equipment can be affected by electromagnetic waves emitted by sources for the remote identification (RFID). In particular, we assessed the occurrence of electromagnetic interference with an in-situ testing method specifically developed, based on standard ANSI C63.18, within an intensive care unit. Some serious faults were identified, both related to the RFID sources and to power sources.
