The US FDA on Medical Devices – Electromagnetic Compatibility & Interference (EMC/EMI)
Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC means that a device is compatible with (i.e., no interference is caused by) its electromagnetic (EM) environment and it does not emit levels of EM energy that cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices in the...
Heart Implant And Pacemaker Safety Devices Tested to Resist MRI Interference
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnetic waves to produce images of the soft tissue on the interior of the human body. Many patients with implanted heart devices are not eligible to have an MRI scan because their pacing systems are not approved for use...
“All people are Electrohypersensitive” by Dr. Olle Johansson – Certified EMF Consultant
Dr. Johansson's work is grounded in rigorous scientific research, which demonstrates that EMFs can influence biological systems. Studies have shown that EMFs can affect cellular processes, alter brain activity, and even impact the function of certain organs. These...
