Life 700/500/300 BTE 15
WARNING: Pacemaker compatibility
Siemens remote control devices (excluding Tek
remote control) have been tested and found
not to cause interference with cardiac
pacemakers that are manufactured and
operated in compliance with applicable safety
standards, provided a minimum distance of 12
inches (30cm) is maintained between the
remote control and the pacemaker. To
accommodate
this provision:
• Do not activate the remote within 12 inches
of the pacemaker.
• Do not carry the remote in your breast pocket.
• Do not wear the remote with a lanyard around
your neck.
• Do not place remote directly on the skin over
the implanted pacemaker.
Following these precautions, Siemens remote
controls can be operated safely by, or within
the vicinity of, individuals fitted with these
pacemakers.
