Pacing Patients should be aware of all the possible things that could interfere with their pacing happiness.

The following devices have been shown to not damage pacemakers that were implanted after 1995. But they have the potential to cause interference by occasionally inhibiting a single beat.

Most people can use these products without too much worry.
CB Radios, Electric Drills, Electric Blankets,
Electric Shavers, Ham Radios, Heating Pads,
Metal Detectors, Microwave Ovens, TV Transmitters, and
Remote TV Changers

The following devices if used by a pacing patient could be harmful. The patient should be aware that their pacemaker might not work properly.
Power-Generating Equipment, Arc Welding Equipment, and
Powerful Magnets as in medical devices, heavy equipment or motors

Cell Phones of less than 3 watts dont appear to damage pulse generators nor affect how the pacemaker works, but newer cellular phones may makes pacemakers less reliable.

Carry a wallet I.D. card with you. Some equipment used by doctors and dentists can affect your pacemaker, so tell them if youre a pacing patient.

Magnetic resonance imaging (M.R.I.) is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that uses a magnet, which has been proven to interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers.

Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (E.S.W.L.) is a noninvasive treatment that uses hydraulic shock to dissolve kidney stones, this procedure may be done safely with pacing patients, unless you have a pacemaker that is implanted in the abdomen.

Radiofrequency (R.F.) ablation uses radio waves to manage a wide variety of arrhythmias. It is found that most permanent pacemakers arent adversely affected by radio frequencies during catheter ablation.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been proven to inhibit bipolar pacing sometimes inhibits unipolar pacing.

Diagnostic radiation appears to have no effect on pacemaker pulse generators, however therapeutic radiation may damage circuits of the pacemaker.

Dental Equipment doesnt appear to have an affect on pacemakers adversely.

Electroconvulsive therapy appears to be safely used in-patients with pacemakers.
