PACEMAKER AND MAGNET INFORMATION
March 15, 2022
To whom it may concern:
Please accept this letter in response to your request regarding the impact of the
electromagnet technology used on all Carney’s battery equipment on the proper
functioning of a pacemaker. Based on our research it is Carney’s Battery Handling’s
contention that if the Battery Handling Equipment is used as intended and under
normal operating conditions the risk of interference appears negligible, providing
the device is using a bipolar sensing programming.
This takes into assumption that the medical device itself is operating as designed.
Based on these studies and the information as hand, we do not see any added
risk created by the electromagnet technology used by Carney Battery Handling.
However, it is the employee’s responsibility to ensure that the pacemaker they have
is a current model that is shielded and uses Bipolar leads.
Please contact you’re a Carney Battery Handling representative should you have
any further questions.
Sincerely,
Roland Mark, P.Eng.
Engineering Manager, Carney Battery Handling
