21.6.2 limits rEgarding tHE Emf impact on mEdical dEVicEs (including aimd)
The immunity of electronic medical devices supporting the human organism (including AIMD)
to electromagnetic interference has to be tested and to comply with the technical requirements
regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The EMF levels used for testing AIMD immunity
according to the provisions of European Standards are lower than the ICNIRP general public expo-
sure limit (Table 21.5) (IEC EN 60601-1-2:2007). As a result, in AIMD exposed to EMF nearing the
ICNIRP limit, some interference may cause malfunctions, ...
