My booklet from another company says no.

I commented at this site on the 11th of this month concerning this. Arc welding is one of the few activities that needs caution.  I don't think I would want to push my luck using this sort of high voltage equipment .

I am sure Thumbcoast's advice is sound.

Parfab,

I went to the Medtronic website and it has a whole electromagnetic compatibility guide.  I PM'd you earler but that was on my phone and it wouldn't let me send it to you.  If you look at the bottom it says no welders.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
