Importance Of EMC/EMI Testing For Medical Devices

In a world full of technology-driven products, it is vital that Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) design and testing ensure medical devices do not cause interference in their use to cause abnormal clinical data to be used. Conducted or radiated emissions are more problematic than in the past, so testing to the appropriate requirements, like CISPR 11/EN 55011, is essential. Conducting EMI/EMC testing helps gauge if a medical device can function without causing interference and can operate as intended in its electromagnetic environment without experiencing an adverse reaction.

Compatible Electronics provides a world-class EMI/EMC test lab for medical electrical devices and offers a wide array of EMI/EMC and Safety testing and certifications for all device components. Some of the testing services we offer include:

EMC pre-compliance scans: Our EMC/EMI diagnostic services allow our team to identify problem frequencies and their locations in a repeatable procedure.
Radiated emissions: Compatible Electronics can measure the power of unintentional and intentional emissions and identify whether these emissions comply with specific limits.
Radiated immunity testing: Compatible Electronics can provide many levels of testing for standards like IEC 61000-4-3, and IEC 60601-1-2 Table 9 RF proximity fields.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD): ESD testing stimulates electrostatic impacts a device may encounter during operation and can determine if a device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 standards.
