Safety Guidelines
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.
