Not a dumb question at all, the FDA sets performance for medical equipment and that includes EMC performance. My understanding at the present time is that requirements are a smorgasbord of commercial (CE/RE) and platform style (CI/RI) requirements. By platform I mean tests derived for equipments which mount on metal vehicles with ground planes. For instance I believe one CI requirement is akin to MIL-STD-461E CS114, swept frequency bulk cable injection.
