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.
