Medical implants:
Medical equipment manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of
15 centimeters between a wireless device and an implanted medical
device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator to avoid any interference
with the medical device. It is recommended that people fitted with such
devices :
-Always keep wireless equipment more than 15cm away from the
medical device.
-Never carry wireless equipment in a breast pocket.
-Place such equipment at the opposite ear to the medical device. -
Turn off the wireless equipment if they think it is interfering with their
device
-Follow the instructions provided by the medical implant
manufacturer.
If you are fitted with a medical implant and have any questions
related to the use of your mobile/wireless equipment, you should
consult your doctor

Radio transmitting equipment including mobile

protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the medical
equipment manufacturer to find out whether the equipment is sufficiently
protected from external radio wave signals. Turn off your device where
required by regulations, particularly in hospitals.
