Brian, in the EU all pacemakers must comply with the immunity requirements
of EN50061/A1:1995. There are no real requirements in the US.
Pacemakers must not malfunction when a 1V peak to peak sine signal with a
frequency range of 20 Hz-500 Hz is applied to a tissue interface simulation
circuit connected to the pacemaker.
In another test, the pacemaker must continue to function normally when a
modulated signal is applied. 2 mVpp, 20 Hz-1 kHz; 2 mVpp X f/1 kHz from 1
kHz-8 MHz; 16 Vpp, 8 MHz-30MHz.
If you have some real concerns, Georgia Tech Research Institute can test
your equipment with pacemakers. Contact Jimmy Woody at (404) 894-3535.

How do I know if a product MIGHT interfere with a Pacemaker or not?
What types of emissions and levels are Pacemakers sensitive to? Does a
product evaluation check list exist to help determine this.
I know nothing about Pacemakers. BTW, we manufacture laboratory and
IT equipment.
Thank you,
Brian
