Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including

wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of

inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a

physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to

determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF

energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device

in health care facilities when any regulations posted in

these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive

to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a

minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should

be maintained between a wireless device and an

implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or

implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential

interference with the medical device. Persons who have

such devices should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3

centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device when

the wireless device is turned on.
