other national governments have advised that children be discouraged
from using mobile phones at all. For example, the government in the
United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a mobile
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to
limit mobile phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
11. What about mobile phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from mobile 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 mobile phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld mobile 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 mobile
phones so that 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 mobile 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.
