Safety

The final draft, a joint effort by 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.

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.

This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible

interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be

found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and

work to resolve the problem.

Emergency Calls

Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential

communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be

avoided, since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of

radio signals, relay stations and landline networks for its operation.

Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under

all conditions on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone,

however, may sometimes be the only available means of communication

at the scene of an accident. When making an emergency call, always

give the recipient all necessary information as accurately as possible.

Never terminate an emergency call until you have received clearance to

do so.
