Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields 
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment, 
such as transformers, converters, or motors. People with pacemakers or implants are at 
particular risk in the immediate vicinity of this equipment. 
•  If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain the minimum distance specified in 
chapter "Correct usage" from such motors.
