I'm not sure exactly what that is but it should be fine, but if you use rate response be aware the pm may pick up the vibration, think you are exercising, and raise your rate. It's annoying but harmless. There are almost no home gadgets we can't use. When in doubt, call the manufacturer.

If you are dependant

If you are completely pacemaker dependant (pace all the time in the ventricule/bottom part of your heart) be careful at first, I will admit I do not know the answer to this question, but depending on the sensing vectors of yoru device (especially in a unipolar mode) if you require pacing, the vibrations and frequency at which it operates could fool the device into thinking that your heart is beating on its own when it is not, this causes the pacemaker not to pace which would lead to you getting dizzy and even passing out....again only if you are pacemaker dependant. If you just have a slow heart rate, it will inhibit the device and your rate will drop to your natural level.....Just try it out in short bursts at first, and if you feel fine...shave away!

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
