Precautions for Users of Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a mul- tidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to physicians that:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
•Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
•Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
•Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones.
