6. Precautions for Use Near Electronic
Medical Devices
■
According to the Guidelines on the Use
of Radio communication Equipment
such as Cellular Telephones -
Safeguards for Electronic Medical
Equipment established by the
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Conference Japan.
WARNING
Do
Take care of the following inside
hospitals.
• Do not take your FOMA terminal
into an operating room, intensive
care unit (ICU), or coronary care unit
(CCU).
• Turn off the power inside hospital
wards.
• Turn off the power even in hospital
lobbies, waiting rooms, and
corridors if electronic medical
devices may be in use near you.
• For use inside medical institutions,
please follow the instructions given
at individual locations.
Do
Turn off the power in crowded places
such as peak-hour trains if implanted
pacemakers and ICDs may be in use
near you.
Radio waves emitted by the FOMA
terminal may adversely affect
implanted pacemakers and ICDs when
used in close proximity.
Do
A person with an electronic
medical device such as an
implanted pacemaker or ICD should
use or carry the FOMA terminal at
a distance more than 22 cm from
the site of implantation.
Radio waves emitted by the FOMA
terminal may adversely affect an
electronic medical device when used in
close proximity.
Do
Electronic medical devices other
than implanted pacemakers and
ICDs may also be used outside
hospitals. Users of electronic
medical devices are advised to
ask the manufacturer whether
these instruments can be affected
by radio waves.
Radio waves from the FOMA terminal
can adversely affect electronic medical
devices.
