A member asked:
Could you tell me is it safe if my husband has a pacemaker defibrillator can he get close to invisible fencing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Invisible fencing: I have seen no literature on this type of device interfering with pacer/icd function. I doubt it would be a problem but it shouldn't be a problem staying away from the proximity to such devices to be safe.
