14 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual
Home Appliances – Home appliances normally do not affect
CRT-P operation if the appliances are in proper condition and
correctly grounded and encased. There are reports of CRT-P
disturbances caused by electrical tools and by electric razors
that have touched the skin directly over the CRT-P.
Communication Equipment – Communication equipment such
as microwave transmitters, linear power amplifiers, or high-
power amateur transmitters may generate enough EMI to
interfere with CRT-P operation if approached too closely.
Commercial Electrical Equipment – Commercial electrical
equipment such as arc welders, induction furnaces, or
resistance welders may generate enough EMI to interfere with
CRT-P operation if approached too closely.
Electrical Appliances – Electric hand-tools and electric razors
(used over the skin directly above the CRT-P) have been
reported to cause pacemaker disturbances. Home appliances
that are in good working order and properly grounded do not
usually produce enough EMI to interfere with implanted device
operation.
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) – Equipment such as
retail theft prevention systems may interact with the CRT-Ps.
Patients should be advised to walk directly through and not to
remain near an EAS system longer than necessary.
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) – RFID tags may
interact with the CRT-Ps. Patients should be advised to avoid
leaving a device containing such a tag within close proximity to
the CRT-P (i.e., inside a shirt pocket).
1.5.8 Cellular Phones
Recent studies have indicated there may be a potential
interaction between cellular phones and pacemaker operation.
Potential effects may be due to either the radio frequency signal
or the magnet within the phone and could include inhibition or
asynchronous pacing when the phone is within close proximity
(within 6 inches [15 cm]) to the CRT-P.
