Safety Guidelines

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, 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 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.
