Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate if some life-supporting medical electrical equipment can be affected by electromagnetic waves emitted by sources for the remote identification (RFID). In particular, we assessed the occurrence of electromagnetic interference with an in-situ testing method specifically developed, based on standard ANSI C63.18, within an intensive care unit. Some serious faults were identified, both related to the RFID sources and to power sources.
