Safety
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
Thescientificevidencedoesnotshow
adangertousersofwirelessphones,
includingchildrenandteenagers.Ifyou
wanttotakestepstolowerexposureto
radiofrequencyenergy(RF),themeasures
describedabovewouldapplytochildren
andteenagersusingwirelessphones.
Reducingthetimeofwirelessphoneuse
andincreasingthedistancebetweenthe
userandtheRFsourcewillreduceRF
exposure.Somegroupssponsoredbyother
nationalgovernmentshaveadvisedthat
childrenbediscouragedfromusingwireless
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wirelessphone
causesbraintumorsorotherilleffects.Their
recommendationtolimitwirelessphoneuse
bychildrenwasstrictlyprecautionary;itwas
notbasedonscientificevidencethatany
healthhazardexists.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequencyenergy(RF)fromwireless
phonescaninteractwithsomeelectronic
devices.Forthisreason,the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the
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wirelessphone
EMI.TheFDAhastestedhearingaidsfor
interferencefromhandheldwireless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wireless
phonesso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.TheFDAcontinuestomonitortheuse
ofwirelessphonesforpossibleinteractions
withothermedicaldevices.Shouldharmful
interferencebefoundtooccur,theFDAwill
conducttestingtoassesstheinterference
andworktoresolvetheproblem.
