Precautions on Using near
Electronic Medical Equipment
■ The description below meets “Guideline on
the Use of Radio-communication Equipment
such as Cellular Telephones - Safeguards
for Electronic Medical Equipment” by the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference.
WARNING
Be sure to adhere to the following
regulations inside medical facilities.
• Keep the terminal out of operating
rooms, intensive care units (ICUs) or
coronary care units (CCUs).
• Turn off the terminal in hospital wards.
• Turn off the terminal in hospital lobbies
and corridors if electrical medical
devices could be nearby.
• If the medical facility has specific
zones where use or possession of
mobile terminals is prohibited, follow
those regulations.
Turn off the terminal in crowded
trains or other public places where
implanted cardiac pacemaker or
defibrillator wearers could be nearby.
Operation of an implanted cardiac
pacemaker or implanted defibrillator may
be adversely affected by radio waves.
If you use an electronic medical
equipment such as an implanted
cardiac pacemaker or implanted
defibrillator, use the mobile terminal
22 cm or more away from the
implanted cardiac pacemaker or
implanted defibrillator.
Operation of an electronic medical
equipment may be adversely affected
by radio waves.
Patients using electronic medical
equipment other than implanted
cardiac pacemakers or implanted
defibrillators (using outside medical
facilities for treatment at home,
etc.) should check the influence of
radio waves upon the equipment by
consulting the manufacturer.
Operations of electronic medical
equipment may be adversely affected
by radio waves.
