Please find examples of technologies that enable wireles medical
devices to operate without problems caused by radio wave interference
(including cell phone and wireless environments).

Clarification of Question by style2002-ga on 20 Oct 2004 09:46 PDT

Please provide other company name and URL if they have.

An intriguing question that I have been asked before and decided to
try and find an answer for.

First off, recognize that the need for equipment is minimal and
questionable at best.  Please see these two articles that describe the
risk of radio waves actually interfering with medical equipment and
pacemakers and the like.

I really don't see any PROVEN third party way of shielding implantable
devices from close proximity radio waves.  It looks like a lot of the
implantable devices are shilded already.

with that said, it seems like there are two options, shileding the
medical equipment or the radio wave producing equiment.  Obviously
blocking the radiowaves being produced by a cell phone would prevent
it from working but you could shield some equiment.  .
