Safety Guidelines

10. What about children using wireless phones?

Safety	The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
	users of wireless phones, including children and
Guidelines	teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
	exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the
	measures described above would apply to children
	and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the
	time of wireless phone use and increasing the
	distance between the user and the RF source will
	reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by
	other national governments have advised that
	children be discouraged from using wireless
	phones at all. For example, the government in the
	United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
	such a recommendation in December 2000. They
	noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless
	phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
	Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use
	by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
	based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
	exists.

11.What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a ‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time.
