11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

RadioFrequency(RF)energyfromwirelessphonescaninteractwithsomeelectronic

devices.Forthisreason,theFDAhelpeddevelopadetailedtestmethodtomeasure

ElectroMagnetic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

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
