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
