AB  - This paper presents results of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing of 
      three implantable neurostimulators exposed to the magnetic fields emitted from 
      several walk-through and hand-held metal detectors. The motivation behind this 
      testing comes from numerous adverse event reports involving active implantable 
      medical devices (AIMDs) and security systems that have been received by the Food 
      and Drug Administration (FDA). EMC testing was performed using three 
      neurostimulators exposed to the emissions from 12 walk-through metal detectors 
      (WTMDs) and 32 hand-held metal detectors (HHMDs). Emission measurements were 
      performed on all HHMDs and WTMDs and summary data is presented. Results from the 
      EMC testing indicate possible electromagnetic interference (EMI) between one of 
      the neurostimulators and one WTMD and indicate that EMI between the three 
      neurostimulators and HHMDs is unlikely. The results suggest that worst case 
      situations for EMC testing are hard to predict and testing all major medical 
      device modes and setting parameters are necessary to understand and characterize 
      the EMC of AIMDs.
