Electromagnetic compatibility of electronic medical equipment

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) defines electromagnetic compatibility as that an electronic device or system can work normally in its electromagnetic environment and will not cause unbearable electromagnetic interference to other devices or systems in this environment.

Electromagnetic compatibility is an important concept, which relates to the performance and stability of electronic equipment or system in electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic interference may cause various problems to equipment or system, including performance degradation, misoperation and even damage. The research and application fields of electromagnetic compatibility are very extensive, including the design, manufacture, use and management of electronic products. In order to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment or system, a series of measures need to be taken, including electromagnetic shielding, filtering and grounding.

Electromagnetic compatibility is also an important prerequisite for electronic equipment or systems to pass the electromagnetic compatibility test. Only by passing the electromagnetic compatibility test can the performance and stability of equipment or system meet the requirements in electromagnetic environment, thus ensuring the normal operation and use of equipment or system. Electromagnetic compatibility is an important attribute of electronic equipment or system, which is related to the performance and stability of the equipment or system, and is also an important factor to be considered in the design and manufacture of electronic equipment or system.

Application of electromagnetic compatibility;

1. Communication equipment: Electromagnetic compatibility is very important in wireless communication and wired communication equipment. Equipment must be able to resist electromagnetic interference from other equipment or environment, while not causing excessive interference to other equipment.

2. Power system: The stable operation of power system requires high electromagnetic compatibility. Power equipment must be able to resist electromagnetic interference from the power grid without causing excessive interference to the power grid.

3. Transportation: planes, trains, cars and other means of transportation. Are faced with a complex electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic compatibility is one of the key factors to ensure the safe operation of these vehicles.

4. Medical equipment: Medical equipment, such as monitors and surgical instruments, requires high electromagnetic compatibility. These devices must be able to resist electromagnetic interference from other devices without causing harm to patients.

5. Military field: Radar, electronic warfare system and other military equipment require high electromagnetic compatibility. These devices must be able to work normally in a complex electromagnetic environment without interfering with other devices.
