If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you

could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the

exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.

For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from

your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the

scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are

concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like

those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,

including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure

to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to

children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless

phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will

reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments

have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at

all. For 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?

Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some

electronic devices. For this reason, 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 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 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 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.
