Samsung SGH-i607 Guida Utente

sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of 
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a 
joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and 
many other groups, was completed in late 2000.  This 
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that 
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from 
wireless phone EMI.  FDA has tested 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.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones 
for possible interactions with other medical devices.  
Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA 
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work 
to resolve the problem.
