CAUTION
Risks from electromagnetic fields.
The functions of implanted systems (such as pacemakers) can be influenced by
electromagnetic fields.
▶ Observe current updates in journals.
▶ Ask patients before treatment.
▶ Have the patient present identification that he or she wears a pacemaker to
assess potential hazards.
▶ Evaluate the risks and benefits.
▶ Take suitable emergency precautions and immediately react to any changes in
health.
▶ Monitor symptoms such as elevated heart rate, irregular pulse and dizziness.
These can indicate problems with a pacemaker.
