What is Medical Device EMC Testing?

emc testing, also known as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, refers to the comprehensive evaluation of a medical device's electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS). It is one of the most critical indicators of product quality.

Purpose of Medical Device emc testing 

1. Evaluate Electromagnetic Radiation: Assess the electromagnetic radiation emitted by medical devices to determine its impact on humans, public power grids, and other electrical equipment operating normally. 

2. Enhance Safety and Effectiveness: Improve the safety and effectiveness of medical devices by preventing potential hazards to patients and users due to electromagnetic interference or emissions causing device malfunction or failure.
