Implanted electronic biomedical devices are becoming more common in our population to address a variety of different physiological needs and conditions. The first devices were pacemakers to assist the heart’s electrical conduction functions, but has rapidly expanded to ICDs (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) which can shock the heart back into rhythm, CRTs, and mobile ECG \/ EKG (Electrocardiograms) which are also known as Holter Units or Holter Heart Monitors that measure and record the heart’s waveform to detect possible abnormalities. (particularly intermittent events)<\/p>\n

Then other devices have appeared such as neuromodulation \/ neurostimulation units which deal with medical issues such as chronic pain or organ control. (SCS, VNS, SNM \/ SNS, etc.)<\/p>\n

Implanted pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, EEG, (electroencephalograms) electrocardiograms, neuromodulation devices, neurostimulators including SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulators) and SNM (Sacral Neuromodulation) aka SNS (Sacral Nerve Stimulators), ambulatory EKG (Holter Units), ICDs, (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) Medtronic Strata CSF valve shunts, PA (Pulmonary Artery) pressure sensors, CRTs (Cardiac Re-Synchronization Therapy devices including CRT-D Defibrillator CRT-P Pacemaker), Vagus Nerve Stimulation \/ Stimulators (VNS) and external medical instruments such as insulin infusion pumps are all potentially susceptible to a variety of EMFs, (electromagnetic fields) EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) events.<\/p>\n
