Medtronic pacemakers & ICDs and how they interact w/ magnets and airport/venue security checkpoints
Learn how medical devices like pacemakers and defibrillator units interact with airport security archways, magnets and store security pylons. Learn about the use of Reed switches and Hall sensors in implantable devices. Hear a Medtronic ICD tone as it comes into close contact with a magnet. My goal is to alleviate some anxiety and fear device patients have due to going through airport and venue security checkpoints. Ultimately it is up to each patient to decide if they are comfortable going through a security station or if they should ask for an individual pat down. Do what is most comfortable for you! **Warning** I am not a medical professional giving medical advice. I am not employed by Medtronic nor do I speak on their behalf. To learn more about your specific make and model of implanted medical device contact the Patient Services group listed on your patient ID card.
