interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be
found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and
work to resolve the problem.

EMERGENCY CALLS
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications
(e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone
requires a complex combination of radio signals, relay stations and landlin
networks for its operation. Consequently, emergency calls
may not always be possible under all conditions on all wireless phone
systems. Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes be the only
available means of communication at the scene of an accident. When
making an emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary
information as accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency
call until you have received clearance to do so.
