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.
