Snidge, it might be helpful to describe your smart scales, but to be honest, if we can go through airport scanners, and some medical machinary, I doubt you, the sensor or the scales will be harmed..

I have the Omron BF511 which aren't bluetooth, if that's what you mean, but they do use electrical impedence as part of their measurements.

Good point re airports etc, will give them a go in the morning, only have 2 days left on this sensor anyway!! They are supposed to let you know body fat% etc so thought i would give them a try. Thank you.

I think you would be perfectly ok as people have smart phones, smart televisions and other appliances that are smart, and also wear sensors.

Thank you!!
Didnt really think about it until I did that old fashioned thing ( read the instructions ) and it said ' do not use if you use a wearable or implanted devise like a defibullator or pacemaker' just made me wonder.

That's because the libre sensor could send the pacemaker out of step with the heart, I think if you got a jolt from a defibrillator it would not do the sensor any good.
