Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

• Pacemaker patients:
  • Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.
  • Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
