There are many sources of information. One in particular is the University of Oklahoma EMC Center. They have done some research and published papers on the effects of wireless devices (mostly cell phones) on medical products including pacemakers, hearing aids, etc. They sponsored a Forum on the topic in 1996, and OU has published results of their studies. I haven't kept up with them since they published in 1997, but I am sure that you can get copies of their activities.
'Ravi' Ravindran at the School of Industrial Engineering at OU was responsible for the research.

I would be interested in communicating with people researching EMI to medical devices caused by cellular telephony services. I have thus far found it fairly difficult to obtain papers on the subject. Mostly, I've come across reports of experimental investigations by medical personnel, and also other medical regulatory authorities. Typically, pacemaker and hearing aid malfunctions have received a lot of attention. There have been a few articles in the IEEE Eng. in Medicine and Biology Soc. conference proceedings, regarding EMC tests, field-strength measurements in a hospital environment, etc. Should anyone like the list of references I have found, I will forward a copy. Articles covering investigations of cases of EMI due to cellular telephones and base-stations, specific EM measurement techniques in a medical environment, etc. would be of great interest. I am looking forward to communicating with interested parties.
