Precautions for users of implanted

cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent

research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the

interference between portable wireless telephones and

implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food

and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the

pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the

pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the

pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with

pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.
