2. Safety notes
Risks due to electromagnetic fields
The functionality of implantable systems, such
as cardiac pacemakers and ICD (implantable
cardioverter defibrillator) can be affected by
electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields.
Find out if patients and users have an implanted
device before using the product and consider the
applications.
Weigh the risks and benefits.
Keep the product away from implanted devices.
Make appropriate emergency provisions and take
immediate action on any signs of ill-health.
Symptoms such as raised heartbeat, irregular
pulse and dizziness can be signs of a problem with
a cardiac pacemaker or ICD (implantable
cardioverter defibrillator).
Danger zones M and G
