Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) 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.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device.
• Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
• Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted
medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health
care provider.
