Safety Guidelines
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?
Radiofrequency 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
246
(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
