Metal Detectors
▪
Advise paents that metal detector security systems such as those found in airports and government
▪
buildings emit signals that may interact with pulse generators and CRT‑P devices. To minimize the
possibility of interacon, advise paents to simply walk through these areas at a normal pace and avoid
lingering. Even so, the pulse generator and CRT‑P systems contain metal that may set o the airport
security system alarm. If the alarm does sound, the paent should present security personnel with their
paent idencaon card. If security personnel perform a search with a hand held wand, the paent
should ask that they perform the search quickly, stressing that they should avoid holding the wand over
the device for a prolonged period.
Cellular Phones
▪ The pulse generator has been tested for compability with handheld wireless transmiers in accordance
▪
with the requirements of ISO 14117. This tesng covered the operang frequencies 385 MHz - 3 GHz, and
pulsed modulaon techniques of all digital cellular phone technologies in worldwide use today. Based on
the results of this tesng, the normal operaon of cellular phones should not aect the pulse generator.
▪
Advise paents to not carry a cellular phone in a breast pocket or aach one to a belt if they are over the
▪
pulse generator. Some cellular phones, and accessories for cellular phones, may contain magnets such as
cases with magnec clasps, which may cause the pulse generator to pace abnormally.
▪ Advise paents to avoid interference between cell phones or smart watches and the pulse generator by▪
keeping them at least 15 cenmeters (6 inches) away from the pulse generator.
Portable Electronic Devices
▪
Advise paents to not carry electronic portable devices such as e‑cigarees, or key cards, credit cards or
▪
other items with magnec strips in their breast pocket over the pulse generator or near the implant area.
