Well, I can't hug you, you're too far away.

If you are asking if a call pendant is safe to use with a pacemaker, the answer is probably yes.

It might be better to wear it away from your device like on a waist belt rather than round your neck.

As with other devices like ear buds, there is a only a very small chance of corrupting the pacemaker.

In any case, your need to get help might outweigh any other consideration.

As with any advice, check with your pacing team.

I don't think these pendants do much more than send a signal to a base unit that dials out to the service operator.

In that respect, it's no difference to a remote door opener.

I hug a friend who wears one! It's only activated if she pushes a button on it. Then, it calls 911.

Thanks Piglet22 and Lavender .

Was concerned if i leaned on it.  I know what it does. So one really has to push on it to make it work.  Leaning against it will not push the button in.

Now that you and Lavender have expanded on it, I can see it's not you with the pendant, but someone else.

Sad to say, I don't get that many hugs, so never give it a second thought.

I can just imagine the scene. Hug someone, emergency ambulance turns up, pacemaker changes mode. Total chaos.
