Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz digital cordless tel-
ephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent
research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interfer-
ence between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,
WTR had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pace-
maker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker,
such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pace-
maker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones.
