EMC tests for medical devices are crucial for their reliable operation and the safety of patients and operators.
They are carried out in accordance with international standards such as IEC 60601-1-2, EN 60601-1-2 in Europe, FDA guidelines in the USA and other relevant standards such as the IEC 61000-4-x series.
These tests evaluate immunity to ensure that medical devices are not disturbed by electromagnetic fields.
Critical challenges such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), fast transient disturbances (burst) and overvoltages (surge) must be addressed by suitable protective measures to prevent malfunctions.

Emission testing is also crucial to ensure that medical devices do not generate electromagnetic interference in their environment that could affect other electronic or medical devices.
This is particularly important in sensitive medical environments such as operating theaters or intensive care units.
Digital evaluations of vital parameters and the safety of data evaluation play a central role in ensuring the accuracy of medical diagnoses and treatments.
EMC testing helps to ensure that the transmission and processing of medical data is accurate and secure, without external electromagnetic interference jeopardizing data integrity.

Error analyses must be avoided, as incorrect diagnoses or treatments can have serious consequences.
Patients’ lives must also not be put at risk when connected to other medical devices.
EMC tests are therefore essential to ensure that medical devices work reliably under real operating conditions and do not cause potentially dangerous situations.

In summary, EMC testing supports the conformity of medical devices with regulatory requirements, contributes to patient safety and strengthens confidence in your products.
EMC tests for consumer electronics are also essential for their reliable function and the safety of users.
They are carried out in accordance with international standards such as the CISPR series of standards and the IEC 61000 series.
