WHAT ARE THE RISKS ?
Do you have a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, cardio resynchronization therapy, deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, implantable infusion pump or similar device?
Implantable electronic devices rely on complex microcircuitry and are susceptible to interference from the surrounding electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) could affect an implantable pulse generator in one of three ways:
-Stopping the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm
-Causing the pacemaker to deliver pulses irregularly
-Causing the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate
EMI with pacemakers, implantable cardioverters-defibrillators, deep brain stimulators can be very complex in terms of the technical aspects and in view of public health issues.
Implantable pulse generators may be affected by various equipment in our daily life, ranging from hospital equipment to security devices. Common devices like cell phones, digital media players (MP3, iPod etc.,), security devices, anti-theft devices, conduction heaters, microwave ovens may interfere with the implantable pulse generator. Complete avoidance of these electronics may not be practical for most of the patients with an implanted device and this may significantly affect their quality of life.
