Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug A dministration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is
turned ON.
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
