Pacemakers and Other Medical
Devices
Studies have shown that there may be
a potential interaction between mobile
devices and normal pacemaker operation.
The pacemaker industry recommends
that people with pacemakers follow
these guidelines to minimize any risk of
interference with pacemaker operation:
Always maintain a distance of 6 inches
•
(15 cm) between the pacemaker and
any mobile device that is turned on.
Store the device on the opposite side of
•
the pacemaker. Do not carry the device
in a breast pocket.
Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker
•
in order to minimize any potential for
interference.
If you think that interference may
•
be occurring, turn off the device
immediately.
For other medical devices, consult with
•
your physician or the manufacturer to
determine if your mobile device may
interfere with the medical device, and
to determine any precautions that you
can take to avoid interference.
