ety Precautions
6. Handling Mobile Phones near Electronic Medical Equipment
■
The following safety precautions conform to the guidelines drawn up during the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference, Japan, regarding the protection of electronic
medical equipment from radio waves emitted by mobile phones.
WARNING
Do
If you use an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator, keep the
FOMA terminal at a distance of at least
22 cm.
Radio waves may affect the operation of
implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter-defibrillators if
used in close proximity.
Do
Turn off the FOMA terminal in
crowded places such as rush-hour
trains in case somebody nearby is
using an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator.
Radio waves may affect the operation of
implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter-defibrillators if
used in close proximity.
Do
Observe the following in hospitals or
other medical facilities:
• Do not take your FOMA terminal into
operating rooms, ICUs (Intensive Care
Units) or CCUs (Coronary Care Units).
• Turn off your FOMA terminal inside
hospital wards.
• Turn off your FOMA terminal even when
you are in an area outside hospital
wards, such as a hospital lobby, since
electronic medical equipment may be in
use nearby.
• Where a medical facility has specific
instructions prohibiting the carrying and
use of mobile phones, observe those
instructions strictly.
• If your FOMA terminal has the Auto
power ON function, disable this function
before turning your FOMA terminal off.
Do
Patients receiving medical treatment
away from a hospital or medical
facility (e.g. home treatment) that are
using electronic medical equipment
other than implantable cardiac
pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter-defibrillators should
consult the respective manufacturers
for information regarding the effects
of radio waves on the equipment.
Signals emitted by the FOMA terminal could
affect the operation of electrical or electronic
medical equipment.
