Workplace EMF and EMI Assessments for Pacemakers, ICDs and Other Implanted Medical Devices Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can be a workplace concern for employees with a pacemaker, ICD, Inspire sleep apnea implant, or other implanted electronic medical devices....
Static Electricity and Pacemakers: What EMF Testing Shows About Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Static electricity and pacemaker safety are occasionally misunderstood. Patients and employers sometimes ask whether a static electricity discharge (ESD) could damage an...
Industrial sites rely on powerful electrical systems, motors, and automated equipment. As these systems expand, the electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) they create can grow as well. Because of this, many companies now use EMF and EMI...
Heart Device Safety in Electromagnetic Environment A study was conducted on electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurements at a Midwest electric power plant as it relates to interference with the proper functioning of a worker's Medtronic CRDM cardiac...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnetic waves to produce images of the soft tissue on the interior of the human body. Many patients with implanted heart devices are not eligible to have an MRI scan. Because the FDA has not approved their pacing systems...
