Cell phones & medical equipment?

I don't quite understand why it's unsafe to use cell phones in medical facilities. They say it can affect some equipment, but how exactly? Even if we don't use the phones and have them off, aren't the frequencies still transmitting through the air? Please help me understand. Thank you!
