Measurement and analysis EMC parameters of implantable pacemaker

Abstract

This paper deals with problematic of Electromagnetic Compatibility of Implantable Pacemaker. The ambient electromagnetic field can negatively influence the pacemaker functionality and also the wireless communication between its programmer and device. Electromagnetic compatibility parameters are tested by direct induction of interference signal to the inputs of cardiac pacemaker according to technical specification. The experimental tests were also made by generating of interference radio frequency signals to disturb the wireless telemetry communication.
