Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme

Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux dispositifs numériques sans fil):

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins:

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au

•

moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque. Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil

•

directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
