example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. 11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment? Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. 37

11. What about wireless
phone interference
with medical equip-
ment?
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy from wireless
phones can interact
with some electronic
devices. For this reason,
the FDA helped develop
a detailed test method
to measure Electro
Magnetic Interference
(EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This
test method is now part
of a standard sponsored
by the Association for
the Advancement of
Medical Instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft,
a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and
many other groups, was
completed in late 2000.
