Those standards were based
on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For

engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health

the available body of research
to develop the ANSI Standard

In August, 1996, the Federal

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.
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

11. What about wireless
phone interference with
medical equipment?
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.
Radio Frequency (RF) energy
from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a detailed
test method to measure Electro
Magnetic 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
