PMs and powered wheelchairs

Anyone know if there is an issue with PMs and powered wheelchairs? I have been given a perscription to order one for use now and didn`t even think to ask about PM interference from the electric motor assembly, rechargable batteries, or the recharger itself.

Thanks

There is absolutely no concern with using a power wheelchair with a pacemaker. I am frequently climbing under them and driving them for repairs and my pacemaker runs 100% of the time. I am around them all day.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
