Le but de cette étude est d'estimer l'effet possible de la radio cellulaire sur les stimulateurs cardiaques implantables dans les ascenseurs. Nous avons précédemment étudié les EMI des stimulateurs cardiaques dans les ascenseurs en examinant la distribution du champ E du plan horizontal à la hauteur attendue pour les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans les ascenseurs. Dans cet article, nous présentons notre méthode d'estimation de l'impact des EMI sur les stimulateurs cardiaques implantables en utilisant les distributions de CEM à l'intérieur de la région du corps humain dans laquelle les stimulateurs cardiaques sont implantés. Des simulations d'un fantôme humain dans un ascenseur sont effectuées et des histogrammes sont dérivés des distributions EMF résultantes. Les résultats calculés des intensités de champ sont comparés à un certain niveau de référence déterminé à partir de la distance d'interférence maximale obtenue expérimentalement de stimulateurs cardiaques implantables. Cela nous permet de réaliser une évaluation quantitative de l'impact des EMI sur les stimulateurs cardiaques par transmission radio cellulaire. Cet article utilise un modèle fantôme numérique développé sur la base d’un mâle adulte européen. Les simulations évaluent les EMI sur des stimulateurs cardiaques implantables dans trois bandes de fréquences. En conséquence, les intensités de champ E calculées sont suffisamment faibles pour provoquer un dysfonctionnement du stimulateur cardiaque dans la région examinée.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to estimate the possible effect of cellular radio on implantable cardiac pacemakers in elevators. We previously investigated pacemaker EMI in elevator by examining the E-field distribution of horizontal plane at the height of expected for implanted pacemakers inside elevators. In this paper, we introduce our method for estimating EMI impact to implantable cardiac pacemakers using EMF distributions inside the region of the human body in which pacemakers are implanted. Simulations of a human phantom in an elevator are performed and histograms are derived from the resulting EMF distributions. The computed results of field strengths are compared with a certain reference level determined from experimentally obtained maximum interference distance of implantable cardiac pacemakers. This enables us to carry out a quantitative evaluation of the EMI impact to pacemakers by cellular radio transmission. This paper uses a numerical phantom model developed based on an European adult male. The simulations evaluate EMI on implantable cardiac pacemakers in three frequency bands. As a result, calculated E-field strengths are sufficiently low to cause the pacemaker to malfunction in the region examined.
