Road Safety
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the
wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its
features, such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device.

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 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 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.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless
phones for possible interactions with other medical
devices. Should harmful interference be found
to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess
the interference and work to resolve the
problem.
