Depends on the age of the equipment, people in hospital would be surprised how old a lot of the equipment can be - some of it can be more than 15 years old; this type of equipment is more liable to interference as it wasn't a major concern when it was originally manufactured, newer more modern equipment won't be as susceptible as manufacturers are all too aware of the consequences.
There are many other factors some of which are:
* The power output of the transmitting device * How close the device is to the equipment * What the purpose of the equipment is (eg, an ecg machine deals with very low level signals and therefore would definitely be more susceptible than say a non-invasive blood pressure machine)

According to the owner's manual "RADIO-TV INTERFERENCEThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant toPart 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interferencein a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipmentdoes cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning theequipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followingmeasures:1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada."
Shielded twisted pair wires are less susceptible to electrical interference caused by nearby equipment or wires and, in turn, are less likely to cause interference themselves. Because it is electrically "cleaner," shielded twisted pair wire can carry data at a faster speed. The disadvantage of shielded twisted pair wire is that it is physically larger and more expensive than twisted pair wire, and it is more difficult to connect to a terminating block.
The FM Trap is used to reduce offending FM signals that can cause audio and video interference. Designed to attenuate the entire FM band and Average -26dB. It's a piece of hardware between the antenna and the preamplifier.
It could. one should bear in mind that SW Diathermy was developed in the twenties and thirties, has some ( largely corrected or adjusted) hazards, and this was before the advent of electronic computers. So there may be discovered hazards.
As with any physical device, you need to service it to keep it from deteriorating. Most of the time a blast of compressed air or a good vacuuming will remove build-up dust that may cause the equipment to overheat and burn out. Other times, parts of a system may by physically worn out or outdated and need replacing by new components.
Cordless phones
So that it doesn't disturb anyone, it is unlikely that it will cause any damage to any electrical and medical equipment.
Solar flares can cause interference with electronic equipment (like cell phones) and because we have magnetic poles, the radiative particles that do make it to the atmoshpere become the northern lights.
According to this scientific paper: http://bjr.birjournals.org/cgi/reprint/73/873/994.pdf, cell phones can interfere with the devices that monitor the doses of radiation patients receive. There is a small possibility that the cell phone could cause some sort of interference with the equipment. This is similar to the requirement for airline travel.
No. A steel plate in one's head cannot cause interference with a computer.
It is very rare for radio was to cause interference with the Kichler under-cabinet lights. If it does cause interference I would call the people who installed it or if you did it yourself find the local dealership and have a talk with them.
It seems that there is no medical evidence that handheld games cause cancer. It would be safe to assume that they do not, since there is not conclusive evidence that cellular phones cause cancer either.
If you're experiencing static, it may be time to look into digital phone lines, new equipment or contacting your phone company to learn about outages in the area.
This is a myth that phones can cause brain damage or death.
No
Not all 4 cylinder engines are interference. When the timing belt breaks in an interference engine the valves can cause serious damage.
