interference between portable wireless devices and implanted

cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

•

Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the

pacemaker.

•

Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the

pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with

pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.
