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.
