InterferencewithPacemakersandOtherMedicalDevices

Potentialinterference

Radiofrequencyenergy(RF)fromcellulardevicescaninteract withsomeelectronicdevices.Thisis

electromagneticinterference(EMI).TheFDAhelpeddevelopadetailedtestmethodtomeasureEMIofimplanted

cardiacpacemakersanddefibrillatorsfromcellulardevices.ThistestmethodispartoftheAssociationforthe

strumentation (AAMI)standard.Thisstandardallowsmanufactur erstoensurethat

cardiacpacemakersanddefibrillatorsaresafefromcellulardeviceEMI.

TheFDAcontinuestomonitorcellulardevicesforinteractionswithothermedicaldevices.Ifharmfulinterference

occurs,theFDAwillassesstheinterferenceandworktoresolvetheproblem.

Precautionsforpacemakerwearers

IfEMIoccurs,itcouldaffectapacemakerinoneofthreeways:

● Stopthepacemakerfromdeliveringthestimulatingpulsesthatregulatetheheart'srhy thm.

● Causethepacemakertodeliverthepulsesirregularly.

● Causethepacemakertoignoretheheart'sownrhythmanddeliverpulsesatafixedrate.

Basedoncurrentresearch,cellulardevicesdonotposeasignifi cant healthproblemformostpacemakerwearers.

However,peoplewithpacemakersmaywanttotakesimpleprecautionstobesurethattheirdevicedoesn'tcause

aproblem.

● Keepthedeviceontheoppositethesideofthebodyfromthepacemakertoaddextradistancebetweenthe

pacemakerandthedevice.

● Avoidplacingaturned‐ondevicenexttothepacemaker(forexample,don’tcarrythedeviceinashirtor

jacketpocketdirectlyoverthepacemaker).

DeviceMaintenance

TomaintaintheMultiConnect:

● Donotattempttodisassemblethedevice.Therearenouserserviceablepartsinside.

● Donotexposeyourdevicetoanyextremeenvironmentwherethetemperatureorhumidityishigh.

● Donotexposethedevicetowater,rain,orspilledbeverages.Itisnotwaterproof.

● Donotplacethedevicealongsidecomputerdiscs,creditortravelcards,orothermagneticmedia.The

informationcontainedondiscsorcardsmaybeaffectedbythephone. 

● Roughhandling,suchasdroppingorsha kingit,candamagethedevice.

● UsingaccessoriesthatMulti‐TechhasnotauthorizedorthatarenotcompliantwithMulti‐Tech’saccessory

specificationsmayinvalidatethewarranty.

Ifthedeviceisnotworkingproperly,contactMulti‐TechTechnicalSupport.

HandlingPrecautions

Alldevicesmustbehandledwithcertainprecautionstoavoiddamageduetotheaccumulationofstaticcharge.

Althoughinputprotectioncircuitryhasbeenincorporatedintothedevicestominimizetheeffectofthisstatic
