Pacemaker question
I recently had a pacemaker implanted and I'm concerned whether it is safe or not to continue using our Ionic Pro ionic air purifier in the same room?
I would trust the dr's then; a pacemaker is a great thing for many people and help stabilize heart rhythms; there are a few precautions depending on why it's being implanted and what else is going on in the heart
for a few weeks; depending on your dr and situation you have to be in a sling and keep the arm down
most things magnetic you're told to watch out for; but industrial equipt is a def no - I've read and been told magnets in headphones were strong enough to interfere so I would ask about that and I was shocked about target scannners but I'm more aware now since I know about them.
google icd support forum org and you'll find a great wealth of information there also; quite a few of us there have icd's with pacemaker's

call the mfg of your PM and ask them, with today's technology & advancements there really isn't awhole lot you should have to worry about (it's in your book also - I think mine says - watch industrial equipment & magnets)
that being said...I read a report that showed the magnets in earphones for ipod's were powerful enough to interfere with pm/icd's when hung around the neck; but then there was an arguement that it didn't
I have noticed when I'm at Target, if I stand too close to the cash register, my heart races like mad. I mentioned this to the tech the last time I had my device interrogated and he said - sure it can happen if the magnetics in their system were strong enough; so be careful
