[QUOTE="London36_, post: 1893814, member: 235117"] At work today there were new, fancy, magnetic name badges. It said on the packet that if you wear a pacemaker you shouldn’t wear it. Said ‘strong magnet’ on back of badge. I’m sure it’s all totally fine and this is a silly, embarrassing question as not huge magnetic fields - but can you wear your pump with them? I’d hate to mess my pump up and felt a bit paranoid about the pump in my bra strap and the badge on my suit jacket. Weirdly, on same day I saw a school physics experiment, no idea what it was as I saw sign and moved back because sign said something like ‘strong magnetic field warning for pacemaker wearers!’ Don’t want to call Medtronic as I’ve called them before about my in-laws induction oven. They said to avoid the oven, couldn’t be specific on whether this meant the entire house when oven was on or just the kitchen and told me to call the manufacturer of the oven??!? Like they would know?! [/QUOTE]
