Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential interference

Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.
Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.
Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don't carry the device in a shirt or
jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Device Maintenance

Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
When maintaining your device:
Do not misuse the device. Follow instructions on proper operation and only use as intended. Misuse could
make the device inoperable, damage the device and/or other equipment, or harm users.
Do not apply excessive pressure or place unnecessary weight on the device. This could result in damage to
the device or harm to users.
Do not use this device in explosive or hazardous environments unless the model is specifically approved for
such use. The device may cause sparks. Sparks in explosive areas could cause explosion or fire and may
result in property damage, severe injury, and/or death.
Do not expose your device to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high. Such
exposure could result in damage to the device or fire. Refer to the device specifications regarding
recommended operating temperature and humidity.
