In the latest user manual, Apple warned against placing accessories such as iPhone 12 and magsafe too close to medical equipment such as pacemakers and defibrillators to avoid electromagnetic interference between them and affect patients. In early October, the Journal of Heart Research published a medical study. Three doctors found that when the iPhone 12 was close to the patient's pacemaker, the device immediately entered? Pause? The country stopped working. I hope the patients concerned will be careful not to put iPhone 12 and related equipment too close. In fact, this view was not discovered recently. As early as many years ago, the US Food and Drug Administration proposed that electronic equipment would have a magnetic field effect on medical equipment, and Apple was not the only company to have such a statement. Many manufacturers of electronic equipment at home and abroad have relevant instructions in the user manual.
Once the article was published, it caused heated discussion among many parties, and Apple also responded at the first time. Apple said, please keep iPhone, magsafe and other accessories at a safe distance from medical equipment (the distance is not less than 15 cm, and the wireless charging time is not less than 30 cm). Although iPhone 12 contains more magnets than other previous models, it will not have a greater impact than other previous devices. If accessories such as iPhone and magsafe are found to affect medical equipment, don't affect life safety because of electromagnetic interference between them. Once found, it must be stopped in time to avoid the medical equipment from stopping working.
In fact, as early as 2009, Apple proposed that mobile phone electronic equipment would cause electromagnetic interference to medical equipment, and electronic equipment manufacturers would also make corresponding explanations in the user manual. Medical staff will basically tell patients and their families who have installed pacemakers that they must keep a distance from electronic devices in their daily lives. Therefore, once patients and their families find that electronic devices affect the use of related medical equipment, they should immediately stop using electronic products and contact doctors for solutions. Nowadays, electronic products have become an indispensable commodity in life. Without electronic equipment, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to life. It is hoped that science will be more advanced and there will be medical equipment that is not affected by electronic equipment.
