The words “Risk” and “EMC” have become closely related in this last decade and they have been used in various contexts. Therefore, one can ask several questions. What is meant by Electromagnetic Risk? In which context has it been used? We will start with an exploration of the meaning of Risk, Resilience and Functional Safety. We will continue with an exploration of Stakeholders Experience
Presentations
4:20pm - 4:50pm
Risk-Based EMC: Turning Complexity into Practical Solutions
Rob Kleihorst
Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V.
Managing the complexity of EMC for safety critical systems is non-deterministic and has grown beyond human comprehension without the use of appropriate processes, models, and modern tools. Small challenge though: we’ll have to take the tough road to bring the processes, tools, and organizational competences towards maturity.
4:50pm - 5:20pm
Risk-resilience-compliance framework for medical device EMC
Vikas Ashok Ghatge
KU Leuven, Bruges, BE
Both the EMC and Medical Directives require the manufacturer to clearly document all steps taken and decisions made to guarantee and check the conformity of the product in the so-called Technical Documentation. The use of of graphical notations for documenting the overall EMC assessment of medical equipment is explored in depth, leading to a set of EMC assurance case patterns or templates.
5:20pm - 5:50pm
Validation Plan and Physical Testing For EMR and Functional Safety
Marco KLINGLER
Klingler International Consulting Services, FR
This presentation will share different ideas to adapt a typical EMC immunity validation test plan and the different test setups on table, sub-system, and system to contribute to the electromagnetic resilience (EMR) assessment of a generic critical functional-safety (FS) system. Additionally, the possible ways of demonstrating that the adapted tests are sufficiently robust to validate the specific FS EMC design rules that have been implemented will be proposed.
