Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches)
between a wireless device and an implanted medical
device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the
medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3
centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the
medical device.
• Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
