The Potential Risks of Radiofrequency Interference in a Typical Hospital and Analytical laboratory Instruments

The electromagnetic interference (EMI) is dangerous for our daily lives. It produces vital electronic failures. These problems are due to bad shielding materials for electronic systems. The main objective of this article is to raise the awareness of EMI and its consequences on critical functions of hospitals medical electronic systems. In this article, the general aspects of this topic are introduced. Case histories about EMI in hospitals and analytical laboratory Instruments are presented. It was suggested that the extensive use of modern electronic devices in hospitals and analytical laboratories with an increasingly scattered electromagnetic environment (EMI) should be carefully reconsidered and thoroughly retested.
