The pacemaker industry recommends that
people with pacemakers follow these
guidelines to minimize any risk of
interference with pacemaker operation:
Always maintain a distance of 15 cm (6
inches) between the pacemaker and any
mobile phone that is turned on.
-
Store the phone on the opposite side of
the pacemaker. Do not carry the phone in
a breast pocket.
-
Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker
in order to minimize any potential for
interference.
-
If you think that interference may be
occurring, turn off the phone immediately.
