Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification technology in recent times is finding several application in the health care industry. With the increase in integration of RFID in daily hospital routines, there is a growing concern about its impact on infirmary equipment and implantable devices. Several organizations have published results on this issue developing individual test procedures but few have tried to generalize the testing procedures. This article is a sincere attempt to understand the science that is unexplored and unreasoned behind the raw results provided; to unify the data sources and present a direction for future research in this branch of engineering. RF sources conforming to ISO 18000 series and impact on Cardiac Rhythmic Medical Devices are presented as an embodiment to summarize the results of testing completed at the RFID Center of Excellence, University of Pittsburgh. The discussion and results presented in this article can be interpolated and extrapolated to the RF communication and Active Implantable Medical Devices.
