PACEMAKERS

All microwave ovens must meet Federal DHHS 
and FCC requirements. However, the operation 
of some pacemakers may be affected by microwaves.
Cognizant of this problem, most pacemaker
manufacturers have taken steps to minimize 
the susceptibility of their products to external
interference, including microwaves. Most new
pacemakers (1982 and later) are now protected 

from microwave interference. However, prior 
to using your microwave oven it is recommended 
that persons with pacemakers consult the
manufacturer of the device for additional information
and/or their physician to ensure their pacemaker 
will not be affected by microwaves.
