this report in the medical profession has caused a lot of attention, reports indicate that the iPad 2 “too intimate contact” will cause the ICD to stop work to may lead to life-threatening

According to a Bloomberg report, a 14-year-old high school students in the state of Colorado to the American Heart Rhythm Society recently delivered a report. Gianna Chien this iPad 2 implantable heart rate defibrillator (ICD) affect the report in the medical profession has caused a lot of attention, reports indicate that the iPad 2 “too intimate contact” will cause the ICD to stop work to may lead to life-threatening.

heart rate defibrillator (ICD) is a surgically implanted arrhythmia or abnormal in patients with intra-abdominal tiny instrument. If the upper or lower part of a patient’s heart tremors or abnormal rhythm, the ICD will give heart conveying one or more times the current to help them return to normal. Abnormalities of the heart or atrial rhythm may lead to sudden death, ICD fact, play an important role in the life-saving supporter. But with a pacemaker, ICD also possible impact of the skin near the magnet. Chien this study stems from a technology exhibition, and his father (a physician) with the help, he eventually found – iPad 2 edge of the magnet can also turn off the ICD.

the this test

26 volunteers carrying the ICD. In the case of 30% – 8 persons, a magnet that is led to the ICD jump to the magnetization pattern (Magnet mode). In accordance with the type of ICD, ICD can return to normal after the removal of the magnet, but others do not – unless by a physician to reactivate the device.

used in the experiments iPad 2 with magnets is used to adsorb the Apple design exquisite metal enclosure, but any magnet Tablet PC (or precisely in fact any magnet) can cause similar the reaction. In the normal browse and use distance, the magnets in the iPad is not enough to trigger the magnetization pattern of the ICD. But if you get too close, such as the user holding the iPad asleep the iPad slipped on his chest, it may lead to problems. With a pacemaker, the pacemaker will continue to work to maintain the patient’s heart rate, but the ICD is activated only when necessary to save the life of the user; ICD inadvertently turned off, users found when it may be too late.

Bloomberg reports, the

, ICD manufacturers also issued a statement: “in strict accordance with the manufacturer requires the use of a tablet device, then the patient will not be affected by the Heart Rhythm Society’s current show is a good reminder to the patient : the use of such new technology products to remain vigilant iPad with ICD or pacemaker to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet. “

That is, if you are with implanted medical devices, remember that the iPad on the nightstand.
