Exposición a la radiofrecuencia originada por aparatos electromédicos

Abstract

Currently, humans are exposed involuntarily or unconsciously to non-ionizing radiation (NIR) in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, due to technological breakthrough. This raises concerns about the possible adverse effects of such exposure, so the evaluation of different exposure scenarios is necessary. Among them, consider those that concern medical electrical equipment. Here a protocol for measuring NIR is developed, according to the medical equipment, facilities and applicable regulations. After a study of the emissions of different types of electrical equipment and human exposure to RF evaluating the existing electromagnetic power density was performed to assess whether the measured levels are in accordance with regulations. For those who do not comply dosimetry was performed. Thereby determining the safety work distance for the operator
