emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,

there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be

used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the

absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the

RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is

mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the

body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are

required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against

the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with

the safety limit.

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation

work?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,

there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from

those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF

absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a

metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products

generally do not work as advertised. Unlike "hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields"

may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost

its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002,

the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that

claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and

unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable

basis to substantiate their claim.

What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency 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 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.
