The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects that electromagnetic field exposure from
using a tablet and smart phone have on a leadless pacemaker (MICRA device).
using a tablet and smart phone have on a leadless pacemaker (MICRA device).
With advancement in technology, people are exposed to new sources of electromagnetic field
like tablets and smart phones. There are magnets in smart phones and tablets that could
affect the functions of pacemakers. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects
of electromagnetic field exposure from using a tablet and a smart phone with participants
that have a leadless pacemaker (MICRA device) implanted inside them. Participants will be
asked to report any symptoms that they experience during the testing.
