Notes for Pacemakers and Defibrillators
Afag vibration conveyors are tested in accordance with regulation 15 of the German Statutory
Accident Insurance Association [Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV] (previously
BGV B11 of German Accident Prevention Regulations). The permissible values of exposure
area 2 are not exceeded, therefore no measures are required pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the
DGUV regulation 15. The definitions of Section 12 “Indirect Effects, Medical Implants” remain
unaffected by the above.
The alternating magnetic fields that occur in the immediate vicinity of certain vibration convey-
ors may affect the proper functions of active implants, i.e. pacemakers and defibrillators. Any-
one with active medical implants, for which no individual risk assessment has been provided,
must observe the specified safety distances to the vibration conveyors. The distances each
relate to the position of the upper body and the active medical implant relative to the field
source.
