RFId is quickly becoming a pervasive technology inside hospitals. EMI on electrical medical equipment is a concern. Patient safety has to be assured by assessing the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) equipment and electrical medical devices. This study tests the effects of an active RFId system, used to track patients, on a critical care electrical medical equipment. 16 devices in five different categories have been tested in a children’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and no performance modifications were observed.

Abstract

RFId is quickly becoming a pervasive technology inside hospitals. EMI on electrical medical equipment is a concern. Patient safety has to be assured by assessing the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) equipment and electrical medical devices. This study tests the effects of an active RFId system, used to track patients, on a critical care electrical medical equipment. 16 devices in five different categories have been tested in a children’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and no performance modifications were observed.
