Examination of specifications and standards relating to the susceptibility of medical electronic devices to transient electrical overstress: Task 2
This study was undertaken to address the US Army's concern for the safe operation of the Harry Diamond Laboratories (HDL) electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulation facilities, which in turn led to concern for the safety of medical electronics equipment in general and medical electronic device wearers in particular. The main concerns of this study are the standards and regulations that address the susceptibility of these types of electronic devices to transient electrical overstress. The study revealed no standards, regulations, or industry-wide guidelines that deal with the susceptibility of medical electronics to EMI from radiative sources. The standards sought in this task do not exist, nor have any reached the stage of development to be accessible in the literature. Furthermore, the agencies that usually publish such standards have none ready for release at this time. In the course of this study it was found that the process of forming a community of interested professionals is under way but has not advanced to the point where it can provide acceptable industry standards and regulations. 28 refs.
