Electromagnetic Susceptibility Testing of Neurophysiological Equipment.
Abstract
A series of electromagnetic susceptibility tests were conducted on electromyographs, electroencephalographs, and an echoencephalograph. The tests were to determine the amount of electromagnetic shielding required to provide the proper operational environment needed in hospital neurophysiological departments. The results showed that careful arrangement of the electrode conductors can significantly decrease the susceptibility of the equipment. In addition, it was found that electromagnetic shielding provides minimum protection for the electroencephalograph because of its limited frequency response. Therefore, it is not recommended unless electromyographs (wide frequency range) are present or their use is anticipated. (Author)
