Can Smart Meter radio frequencies interfere with medical devices?

The Smart Meters used in Erie have been certified by the FCC and should not interfere with devices in or around your home or business. A study by the American Cancer Society examined the effect of Smart Meters on pacemakers and implantable defibrillators and found they did not interfere with these devices. Modern pacemakers are shielded and have built-in features that insulate them against outside interference, including transmission from meters and household appliances like microwaves, cell phones, and Wi-Fi.
