11. What about wireless phone interference
with medical equipment?
• Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless
phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the FDA helped

measure electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for the
