Abstract :
Incidents of degraded medical device performance caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI) continue to be reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The reasons for renewed efforts at the FDA to reduce device susceptibility are listed. Case studies describing the effects of EMI, magnetic fields, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) are presented.
