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.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their
implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with
an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.
