Magnetic Compatibility & EMC

Understanding EMC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) refers to how electronic devices interact. For implanted or external medical devices, high electromagnetic interference (e.g., from microwaves, cell phones, airport scanners) can cause malfunctions or interruptions.
Device Safety Guidelines
Safe Distances: Recommended spacing from high-power electronics.
Warning Signs: Buzzing sensations, intermittent device behavior—when to call your physician.
Daily Lifestyle Tips: Simple practices to minimize interference, including how to pass safely through security checkpoints.
