14 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual

Home Appliances – Home appliances normally do not affect CRT-P operation if the appliances are in proper condition and correctly grounded and encased. There are reports of CRT-P disturbances caused by electrical tools and by electric razors that have touched the skin directly over the CRT-P.

Communication Equipment – Communication equipment such as microwave transmitters, linear power amplifiers, or high- power amateur transmitters may generate enough EMI to interfere with CRT-P operation if approached too closely.

Commercial Electrical Equipment – Commercial electrical equipment such as arc welders, induction furnaces, or resistance welders may generate enough EMI to interfere with CRT-P operation if approached too closely.

Electrical Appliances – Electric hand-tools and electric razors (used over the skin directly above the CRT-P) have been reported to cause pacemaker disturbances. Home appliances that are in good working order and properly grounded do not usually produce enough EMI to interfere with implanted device operation.

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) – Equipment such as retail theft prevention systems may interact with the CRT-Ps. Patients should be advised to walk directly through and not to remain near an EAS system longer than necessary.

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) – RFID tags may interact with the CRT-Ps. Patients should be advised to avoid leaving a device containing such a tag within close proximity to the CRT-P (i.e., inside a shirt pocket).

1.5.8 Cellular Phones

Recent studies have indicated there may be a potential interaction between cellular phones and pacemaker operation. Potential effects may be due to either the radio frequency signal or the magnet within the phone and could include inhibition or asynchronous pacing when the phone is within close proximity (within 6 inches [15 cm]) to the CRT-P.
