4.3.3 Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the
adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between
a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
turned ON.
•
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation
of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
