Shielding of an EMG Machine Utilizing a
Conductive Enclosure

Using the MED-E-ShieldTM conductive enclosure we will show you the shielding methodology and test in which an Electromyography (EMG) Instrument is shielded from harmful Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) emissions.

Do You Purchase for Hospitals or Clinics?

While private practices experience many of the issues and problems already described here in the MED-E-ShieldTM web site, hospitals and clinics face even greater problems with the conflicts that occur when a variety of sources of Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference exist in close proximity to one another. More numerous devices, new machines that operate at higher and higher frequencies, cell phone and radio disturbances usually coupled with extremely poor grounding of the building itself will wreak havoc with electro diagnostic equipment. Every day hospitals, clinics and multi-physician practices are struggling to conduct emission free, clean, diagnostics in a timely manner.

If you are in the decision making process for the purchase and implementation of new medical equipment for your hospital or clinic, then MED-E-ShieldTM should quickly become a priority in your budget. Many of the same reasons given in the "Why Should I Buy MED-E-ShieldTM?" apply here too!

All administrators and buyers should certainly read that section in its entirety. The real highlights for a hospital or clinic are:

• COMPLETELY CLEAN DIAGNOSTIC
• ACCURATE PATIENT READINGS
• LESS TIME PER STUDY
• NO RE-SCHEDULING OF PATIENTS
• INCREASED PROFITABILITY


But for the administrators that are looking down the road, there are two critical areas of concern. Again, the first was mentioned in detail in the "Why?" section. That is CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS. The other is related; EMC CONSULTING AND CUSTOMIZATION:

• CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS:

We would point to the changing environments that surround each and every one of us daily. Electronics have become such an integral part of our landscape! Every day we deal with companies that are designing smaller, faster, more powerful electronic equipment for our military, medical and personal use. As these changes take place, our immediate environment becomes more and more laden with new and higher frequency EMI and RFI! This will only serve to cause even more problems in the future as these devices sit in proximity to one another. This has become increasingly evident in the medical world as the devices become more sophisticated. Within the walls of a clinic or hospital, one is likely to find quite a collection of devices right next to the other. This will continue to become a greater dilemma for the decision makers that guide both the medical integrity of the institution and the profitability as well.

• EMC CONSULTING AND CUSTOMIZATION:

We are experts in EMC. This stands for "Electromagnetic Compliance". If you suspect that you have a problem with Electromagnetic, Magnetic or Radio Frequency Interference, then please contact us immediately! We can trouble shoot these problems for you and provide solutions to eliminate them. We can also customize the MED-E-ShieldTM product to any size that you may require to alleviate one specific problem or cover a range of problems regardless of where the problems exist in your facility. The standard MED-E-ShieldTM product was designed specifically to fit comfortably in a standard examination room so that physicians would not have to become too involved in the customization aspect. But for a hospital or clinic, we expect that tailor-made solutions may be more the norm.

Either way, as you experience incompatibilities with the medical devices in your facility, give us a call and see how we can assist you in working through those problems to ensure that all of the equipment works as intended by providing an electromagnetically safe environment!
