The FDA has new recommendations for how to prevent the risk of damage caused by electronic interference with wearable devices including:
- Wearable diabetes devices
- Cardiac implantable devices
- Neurostimulators
Medical radiation procedures — such as CT scans — are safe and effective for most people. However, we have received a few reports of problems linked to possible interference between certain imaging technologies and electronic medical devices.
Read the recommendation for people with these devices and physicians who monitor these devices on FDA.gov.
