Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) 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 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
•
Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•
Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
