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.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
