Safety
2000. This standard will allow manufacturers
to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone
EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for
interference from handheld wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference occurs when
a person uses a "compatible" phone and a
"compatible" hearing aid at the same time.
This standard was approved by the IEEE
in 2000. The FDA continues to monitor
the use of wireless phones for possible
46
interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found to
occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess
the interference and work to resolve the
problem.
