trouble at work


Ive been having interference with my defibrillator/pacemaker at work when using this big industrial FRS two way radio, it has a magnet inside the battery. Is this suppose to happen? If so I guess I need to let my boss know so we can figure something else out. It causes beeping sounds and a funny sensation.

The PM manufacture can help

If you call the PM manufacturer, they can help the most.
my first PM was a ST Jude and when I talked to them about interference at work.(i worked with high power jammers) they said they would come to work with me and monitor my pacemaker while i was exposed to different environments.
This sounds like what you need. call them see if they will offer this help to you.

I would really put pressure on your service guy to make a visit to your work site with his equipment to check you there. This is a huge issue because you are exposed so regularly.
