Precautions for users of implanted cardiac
pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital
cordless devices):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an
independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the interference between portable
wireless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers.
Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-
tion, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless devices at least six inches
from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless devices directly over
the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when
it is turned ON.
WTR's evaluation did not identify any risk to
bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless devices.
