Since launch iPhone 12 in October Apple acknowledged that the devices can cause electromagnetic interference to medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators, but the company has now shared more information on the official website.
Apple added:
“Medical devices, such as implantable pacemakers and defibrillators, may contain sensors that respond to nearby magnets and radio transmitters. To avoid possible contact with these devices, keep iPhone and MagSafe accessories at a safe distance (more than 15 cm from the device; more than 30 cm when charging wirelessly). Check with your doctor and the medical device manufacturer for more specific guidance.
Check with your doctor and the medical device manufacturer about how it works and whether you need to keep it a safe distance from iPhone and MagSafe accessories. Manufacturers often provide guidelines for the safe use of devices near wireless and magnetic devices to avoid potential interference. If you suspect that your iPhone or MagSafe accessories are interfering with your medical device, please stop using them. “
Earlier this month in the magazine Heart rhythm journal told that iPhone 12 models can “Potentially interfere with life-saving therapy in a patient” due to magnetic interference in implantable medical devices. Three doctors in Michigan tested this suggestion by holding an iPhone 12 next to a patient’s implantable cardioverter defibrillator, who immediately switched to “Suspended” condition at the time of the test, the article says.
“Medical device manufacturers and implant doctors should be vigilant in educating patients about the significant impact of the iPhone 12 and other smart wearable devices on electronic devices implanted in the heart.”
