... conditions. The typical buckling test employed for testing distal tip stiffness of pacemaker and defibrillator leads does not incorporate a transverse constraint. In vivo, such a constraint is present in the RV from the heart wall throughout the cardiac cycle, but is most restrictive during systole...

... some near field requirements but these standards tend to be industry specific – such as drug pumps or pacemakers. EMC immunity standards used to test EMC susceptibility barely mention magnetic immunity. The only test for magnetic fields recommends testing fields at the power frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz...
