Daily mitigation of and planning for intentional or unintentional EMI should be a part of a medical facilities ongoing spectrum management just as annual condition and risk assessments are performed at other facilities. A reasonable supply of spare electronic components should be stored safely on site and readily available (network switches, wireless access points, disks, computers, instrumentation). Although some planning can rely on good-faith compliance, protection and planning for noncompliance and electronic device failure is a necessity.
