Cell phone and CPAP machine

Post by ticman1 » Fri May 26, 2017 7:15 pm

Is it a concern to have cell phone on night stand next to CPAP machine?

Are there any interactions between the two that would affect the operation of the machine? Might it affect sleep patterns? Might interfere with data collection or transmission?

Just curious as i leave my phone next to my bed--on vibrate with volume very low.

Thanks all.

Look for the FCC certification on EVERY electronic device sold in this country,
It certifies that extraneous RF transmission has been tested for---and does not interfere with safe operation of nearby devices.
The label on your phone may be on the box or inside the case.
