[PSES] Magnetic fields, human exposure standards, and pacemakers

Hi Dan, I saw this come across my inbox this morning and immediately thought about the conversation on this list that you started in 2022. I thought you might be interested in the lead article on the pacemaker study. Doug Nix d...@ieee.org +1 (519) 729-5704 > Begin forwarded message: > >

Dan -- I'd suggest that you have your relative call Support at the pacemaker/defib manufacturer. On a slightly different project, I found a lot of on-line information about device immunity, and I think we even called Support and got additional clarifying information. Go to the source! Mike

Hi Dan, So the issue here is that pacemakers are designed to be stopped with the use of a permanent magnet. When the cardiologist is checking the operation of the pacemaker in the office, they will stop it by placing a permanent magnet on the chest of the patient. They can then see how the

Mains power lines running overhead make magnetic fields at 50/60 hertz…. I lived near Barcelona, Spain, for almost two years. The local trains used overhead lines. The stations used color CRT displays for train info. You could tell when a train was arriving as the display would distort

Recall from school that the H field roll off is third order.  The size of the magnets is small, about 1/8 inch on the ones I have.For comparison, the speaker magnetics in some smart phones are a bit larger and stronger.  And the phone NFC, near field communication, uses AC magnetic fields. Oh,

Hello list! I have a relative with an implanted pacemaker/defibrillator who recently got a fitness tracker that has a magnet for attachment/alignment of the charging cord. There are warnings in the user manual advising against people with pacemakers using this product because of the magnets,
