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 (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 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.
