Electromagnetic interference to infusion pumps. Update2008 from GSM mobile phones.
This engineering study updates a prior (2005) survey on electromagnetic interference (EMI) affecting infusion pumps and extends testing to DECT phones and WiFi terminals. It reports a reduced failure rate for GSM phone exposure compared with 2005 (58% to 30%). The authors report that WiFi and DECT did not pose a real risk to infusion systems under the assessed conditions.
Key points
- The paper focuses on EMI effects on critical care infusion pumps from wireless communication devices.
- Compared with 2005, the reported GSM-related failure rate decreased from 58% to 30%.
- The authors report that WiFi terminals did not pose a real risk to infusion systems in their assessment.
- The authors report that DECT phones did not pose a real risk to infusion systems in their assessment.
- The abstract does not provide details on testing protocols, device models, or exposure parameters.
