Information for use with Pacemakers 

The vibrating pad that forms part of the W2‑SVP‑630L Wi‑Safe 2 Strobe and Vibrating Pad (FS1552W2-T) contains a small motor which in turn contains a small magnet. General advice for products incorporating magnets, and for electrical products in general is for users fitted with a pacemaker or users of other medical equipment should check with authorised medical staff and the instructions of the device manufacturer before use, we recommend that these steps are taken by users of Wi‑Safe 2 system. During the development and certification of the W2‑SVP‑630L, the product passed the required set of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) tests. These tests determine whether electromagnetic emissions from a product will interfere with the performance of other devices, or whether the performance of the product could be affected by emissions from other devices. In addition to the EMC tests, additional tests were carried out to measure the magnetic fields produced by the motor contained within the vibrating pad. This report can be provided on request. This work was completed in January 2011 a précis of which is that findings were that a maximum magnetic field strength at any point on the outer casing of the vibrating pad was 46uT (46 micro Tesla’s). As a meaningful measurement to give some indication of How weak this is, the earth’s magnetic field varies between 25uT and 65uT. In cases of doubt, this information should be viewed by the patient’s consulting cardiologist for a final decision.
