devices. The FDA publication includes the following information: What kinds of devices are the subject of this update? The term wireless device refers here to hand-held wireless devices with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” devices. These types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the device and the user's head.
“Occupational Safety and Health Administration “National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless devices with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All devices that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure.
