Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a

minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) should

be maintained 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 when

the wireless device is turned on.

• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical

device to minimise the potential for interference.

• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer

of their implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device

with an implanted medical device, consult your health

care provider.
