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 Administration, 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.
