What is wrong with pacemakers that they can't make one that functions around radios and microwaves? Lack of space for installing the faraday cage. Pacemakers DO function around radios and microwaves. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Condit...13_Article.jsp Lol! Devices that have to work should be designed to work properly in the very low level fields that occur in every day life. It's not really hard. There are any number of engineers who can do that. According to the article, they ARE designed to work properly in the very low level fields that occur in everyday life and the biggest risks are from medical equipment. Your reference contradicts what you say. Are MP3 players "medical" equipment? What part of the word 'biggest' did you fail to understand? Exactly. You didn't really say anything since you qualify it so it means nothing. Bottom line is pacemakers have problems with common household electronics. Not well designed I think. -- Rick C |

Not well designed I think. i think it is more that pacemakers *could* potentially have problems with everyday equipment under worst-case scenarios, especially with possible faults. They don't usually, but for obvious reasons even rare and unlikely risks have to be considered. -- Roger Hayter |
