Chi Machine

I am interested in purchasing a Chi Machine for my wife. Their
disclosure says to not use with an old pacemaker. I contacted them and they described old as before 2000. My wife had her implant in 2006. No matter what they said, she is still a bit leery of buying the machine. My question is obvious. Is there anyone in this huge database that has a Chi Machine and does not have problems. I am just trying to alleviate her fears.
Thanks.

Chi machine...

Hello,

I am clueless what a Chi machine is... the only thing I can think of is Chi tea... so is it like a espresso machine? I may be out to lunch here...

However, to be sure your wife is completely confident ~ I would email the manufacturer of her pacemaker and ask. I have a Medtronic and have emailed them a couple of times from their website and I have received answers to many questions quite promptly. Just be sure and tell them in the email your wife has a PM and what make/model. There seems to be very few things that bother folks with PM's... but, with that said we are all different.

Good luck!

Hello,

I was totally cluless about what a Chi Machine is! Clearly not a drink... I did a search and saw several sites that advertised them.

I would ask your doctor and your manufacturer if this will be a problem for you...

What is a Chi machine

I think I can guess. It is a machine that when you turn it on your pacemaker stops working and just before you go into the great beyond you utter "Oh Chi" (:

just had to say that,

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
