- creatornator 5y agoPhones probably don't interfere with medical equipment--patients use phones all the time with no issues. Not to mention most medical equipment is subject not only to the usual FCC electronics regulations on electromagnetic interference but additional regulations. A quick google search suggests the reason is likely more related to super long battery life, and the un-ignorable nature of the alerts (a text message or call is easy to ignore or fade into the background).
