Measured Effects of Square-Wave Modulated RF Fields (450 and 3100 MHz) on Cardiac Pacemakers
Abstract
Tests were performed to measure the effect of pulsed 450 and 3100 MHz RF radiation on cardiac pacemakers. All models were tested in both a free-field and a simulated-implant configuration and were continuously monitored during testing. Most of the models exhibited some type of electromagnetic interference under some conditions of the tests, although five recent, different models were unaffected under all conditions of these tests.
