emissions?

 

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, 
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be 
used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the 
absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the 
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is 
mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the 
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are 
required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against 
the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with 
the safety limit.

 

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation 
work?

 

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, 
there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from 
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF 
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a 
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products 
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” 
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost 
its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, 
the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that 
claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and 
unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable 
basis to substantiate their claim.

 

What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

 

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic 
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure 
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and 
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard 
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation 
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and 
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow 
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from 
wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a 
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 
(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for 
hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses 
a compatible phone and a compatible hearing aid at the same time. This standard 
was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

 

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with 
other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will 
conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
