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.

• Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted

medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device

with an implanted medical device, consult your health care

provider.
