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.
