Abstract

This article introduces clinical workflow -oriented risk-based EMC approach for professional healthcare environments. for practical implementation of such an approach, it proposes a framework for EMI-induced risk management. Further, the article details the application of the aforementioned approach in a case study of a UV light therapy system EM emissions to study the implications of those EM emissions on implanted cardiac electronic devices.
