Cover Story: Workers with an active implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, must be protected against the interference of electromagnetic fields. In many cases, a specific risk assessment is needed in order to guarantee their safety. The international standards of the EN50527 family provide the general methodologies that shall be adopted for such an evaluation. This study presents an example of how the specific risk assessment can be performed, using the in vitro testing/measurements methodology. View this paper.
