I don't believe mobile phones affect medical equipment
I did some of the work for the original MHRA report.
I managed to get an external pacemaker to "sense" a heart beat at 7meters! - but that was with a walkie talkie.
I shutdown a vent ( with a phone) which rebooted in a fault condition and would not work without a mjor service.
I shut down the display of an aneasthetic machine.
I altered the results given by a blood analyser.
I go a syringe pump to change rate.
They do affect medical equipment - Fact.
Admittedly usually at very close range.
And remember a mobile phone emits an "I am in this cell call me here" signal even if it is not in use so they need to be turned off or in flight mode to be safe.
How many people have had faulty equipment reported to them and found no fault and thought "silly nurse"?
I know this is an old, much debated topic but we are dealing with peoples health and well being here.
