Safety Guidelines (Continued)
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.
