o thank you, that's reassuring! Been getting a bit "edgy" about all those devices out there waiting to catch us out? Keep well

Toothbrush? Look at the App ERPM on Googleplay! ERPM The App for pacemaker and ICD recipients.

Dear all, I want you to know that on Googleplay store there is an Android App named ERPM.
The acronym stands for “Environmental risks for Pacemaker and ICD” and it is an application for pacemaker and ICD recipients. This application has a list of objects that you can encounter, in the home - or outside - environment, or some diagnostic and therapeutic procedures usually present in healthcare environments. All of these are potentially able to generate an electromagnetic field that can affect the proper function of your pacemaker or ICD. For each area (at home or outside) you will find environments (like kitchen or bank) in which you will see numerous items listed; similarly in the healthcare area. Not all listed items are potentially risky and this will be indicated by a color code. A tutor will always be available to remind you of the meaning of the color codes. The App also has an item search system and moreover, it will give you the opportunity to tell an object not found in order to find it in future updates.

Bye bye..

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!

I had my pacemaker put in 2 years ago and have used one of 2 electric toothbrushes at least once a day since then. I haven't had any issues at all.
