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