Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.

Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.
