EN 60601-1-2-24 (1998) specifies a 400 A/m test level (there's a newer 
published version, 2012).  This standard is applicable to infusion pumps and 
controllers.  The test method specified is that of the basic standard EN 
60601-1-2, which references IEC 61000-4-8, which defines continuous tests up to 
100 A/m and short duration tests up to 1000 A/m (or special test levels where 
applicable).  Don't know who makes the equipment for a 400 A/m test level, but 
I'm sure the suppliers who make the 3, 10, 30 A/m test equipment can build one 
for you if they don't have it.  On the other hand if this is an infrequent 
test, you may want to investigate building the test setup yourself (although it 
may take lots of wire and lots of loops and lots of time).  Here's an old 
Agilent Application Note that may help:

Subject: [PSES] Magnetic Field at 400 A/m

 

Dear Members,

 

Does anyone know which standard requires to have magnetic field evaluated at 
400 A/m?  Is there any commercial available instrument (loop) for the purpose?

 

Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best regards,

Grace Lin
