If he had a LOW EMI Phone, how was he able to transmit out of the OR? It is not the incidental radiation that is the problem, it is the transmitter. Also, how was he able to "answer" the phone and maintain sterilization?

But seriously, a useful product would be a "cell phone detector" with an audible alarm, or a silent alarm to alert security.

No cell-phone should be switched on in an OR. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
