Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inch)
should be maintained 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 inch) from the medical device when
the wireless device is turned on.
Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
●
Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the
●
medical device to minimise the potential for
interference.
Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is
●
any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Read and follow the directions from the
●
manufacturer of their implanted medical device.
