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 centimetres (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
centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device
when the wireless device is turned on.
● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
