Author(s): Eisuke HanadaEisuke Hanada
Modern clinical medicine uses a wide variety of highly technical medical devices on which advanced medicine increasingly relies. These devices often use internet and communication technology. Some medical devices pick up weak biomedical signals and others function by generating a powerful magnetic field. Wireless LAN and wireless voice communication are useful in clinical settings.Because of the recent availability of technical reports and our educational efforts to show that medical devices and wireless communication apparatus are safe and compatible, there is reduced anxiety among medical professionals and thus demand is increasing for technically advanced systems. For safety and security reasons, it is necessary to prevent both the radiation of strong electromagnetic waves from apparatus inside the hospital and to block the invasion of electromagnetic waves from outside.
