Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Studies have shown that there may be a
potential interaction between mobile
phones and normal pacemaker operation.
The pacemaker industry recommends
that people with pacemakers follow
these guidelines to minimize any risk of
interference with pacemaker operation:
Always maintain a distance of 15 cm
(6 inches) between the pacemaker and
any mobile phone that is turned on.
- Store the phone on the opposite side
of the pacemaker. Do not carry the
phone in a breast pocket.
