Reference Number:356

Please send me an email with the details of the next course.

Electromagnetic Fields and Interference Issues affect the Healthcare/Medical Devices Industry:

On the 24th April 2004, a new Directive (2004/40/EC) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union to limit exposure to physical agents (Electromagnetic Fields, EMF) to all employees. The ‘EMF Directive’ will be soon transposed into UK law, and the whole healthcare industry will have to perform an assessment of the EMF exposure to all staff, as it will be a legal requirement.

Since the implementation of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) in 1998, electro-medical equipment is required to comply with the electrical safety requirements (BS EN 60601-1-1:2001) and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements (BS EN60601-1-2:2002) to be allowed to carry the CE marking.

Within the hospital environment, professionals involved must become competent managers of EMC and electrical safety.
