Abstract :
The paper presents a generalized protocol to test and verify the reported results of EMI effects between RFID scanners and wearable infusion pumps. In addition, the protocol was created to more precisely evaluate the amount of interaction between RFID and medical devices, and identify those factors which had a significant influence on the level of interaction. Experimental EMI testing was conducted between three wearable infusion pumps and two RFIDs; no interference was observed.
