Neurophysiological Equipment Susceptibility Test Program

Abstract

CEL will perform susceptibility tests on neurophysiological equipment commonly used in Naval Hospitals at a selected contractors facility in the Washington DC area. These tests are designed to determine the vulnerability of the neurophysiological equipment to ultra-low frequency electric and magnetic fields which may reasonably be expected in the hospital environment. By using controlled laboratory experiments, the susceptibility of the equipment under test (EUT) may be accurately specified for both radiated electric/magnetic fields as well as conducted signals on the power lines.From the test data, an engineering analysis will be made to determine the shielding and filtering requirements for proper location, layout and design of the neurophysiology departments of Naval Hospitals
