Greetings RFI Group,
Yesterday I had a Medtronic pacemaker implanted in my chest. I was having
occasional lapses in heart rhythm of 10-15 seconds about once a week.
This pacemaker is of new technology shielded in metal.
Is there anyone that has experience or an opinion about operating on HF
frequencies 40 through 10 meters with a pacemaker?
In the manual it does refer to being in close proximity to the unit like 6
inches for cell phones, network routers and laptops. Also mentioned that
microwave ovens are not an issue but again I am inquiring about HF.
I realize if I'm on my tower working and RF would be emitted would be a
higher risk.
What I'm concerned is operating in my shack about 60 feet from my quad and
30 feet from a 40 meter delta loop.
I am inquiring about the electromagnetic compatibility.
I'm not anticipating info from Medtronic that relates to my particular
questions.
Thanks,
Randy
