APPLE WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL DEVICES

APPLE users with medical devices have been warned to keep their consumer-electronic products at a distance because consumer-electronic devices – like the iPhone are made with magnets or components that emit electromagnetic fields.

“To avoid any potential interactions with these types of medical devices, keep your Apple product a safe distance away from your medical device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging). ”

Environmental Health Trust notes that what Apple should also be warning consumers about is that even if you do not have a medical device, the phone or electronic should be at a distance because of the radiofrequency radiation.

The full statement by Apple

Many consumer-electronic devices contain magnets or components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields.

Magnetic interference and medical devices

Under certain conditions, magnets and electromagnetic fields might interfere with medical devices. For example, implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these types of medical devices, keep your Apple product a safe distance away from your medical device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging). Consult with your physician and your medical-device manufacturer for specific guidelines.

If you suspect that your Apple product is interfering with your medical device, stop using your Apple product and consult your physician and your medical-device manufacturer.
