John, Is WG15 also dealing with combined pacemaker/defibrillator units?
I have a friend who emigrated to Greece from the UK because the anti-theft devices at UK shop entrances use to trip the defibrillator into action. A couple of joules across the heart is apparently equivalent to a couple of hundred joules across the chest - not nice!

Yes, and that includes exposure of the pacemakers to those fields. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. Try www.jmwa.demon.co.uk and www.isce.org.uk Things can always get better.
