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 energy (RF) 
from wireless phones can 
interact with some electronic 
devices. For this reason, the 
FDA helped develop a detailed 
test method to measure 
electromagnetic 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. 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
