RF Compliance for Medical Devices: FCC Certification, RF Testing & FDA Considerations

Date: November 10, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM EST
Format: Live Webinar

Bringing a wireless medical device to market involves much more than traditional EMC testing. Manufacturers must navigate FCC requirements, wireless coexistence expectations, evolving FDA considerations, global market access regulations, and emerging RF interference risks from technologies such as 5G, RFID, NFC, wireless charging, and MRI environments.

Join Nemko's James Cunningham for an in-depth webinar covering the key RF compliance challenges facing today's medical device manufacturers. You'll gain practical insights into FCC certification requirements for wireless medical devices, the role of approved radio modules, wireless coexistence testing methodologies, risk assessment strategies, and considerations for global market approvals. The session will also explore emerging industry approaches for evaluating "common emitters," MRI compatibility and labeling requirements, and how manufacturers can proactively address potential RF performance issues throughout product development.

You'll learn:

• When medical devices may qualify for FCC exemptions and when full certification is required
• Key considerations for wireless transmitters, radio modules, SAR testing, and FCC approvals
• FDA expectations and industry standards related to wireless coexistence
• How to assess risks from 5G, RFID, NFC, wireless charging systems, and other common RF emitters
• MRI compatibility and labeling requirements
• Common global market access challenges for wireless medical devices and how to avoid costly delays

Who should attend? Medical device manufacturers, design engineers, compliance and regulatory professionals, quality managers, product development teams, and anyone responsible for bringing wireless medical devices to market.

Register today to gain practical guidance on achieving RF compliance and reducing regulatory risks for wireless medical devices.
