Protecting the Beat of Life: Test Center Studies Interaction Between Pacemakers & Electronic Article Surveillance SystemsLink to News Release As
electronic components become smaller and smarter, they allow development
of increasingly sophisticated pacemakers, implantable defibrillators
and other medical devices that have already improved life for more
than a million people worldwide. At the same time, growing concern
about theft from retail stores has led to widespread use of electronic
article surveillance (EAS) systems that generate fields of electromagnetic
energy while in operation. Researchers at the EAS/Medical Device
E3 Test Center are studying those interactions in an effort to prevent
potential problems.
