Chein, fourteen, held a presentation before members of the Heart Rhythm Society meeting about the hazards that can involve the improper use of the iPad 2 for those who have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
cardioverter-defibrillator is a device that in the case of cardiac arrhythmia using electrical pulse helps to restore sinus rhythm safe. Cardiac arrhythmias can lead to death, so cardioverter-defibrillator can save lives. If you are going to work.
Unfortunately, as it turns out, these devices are sensitive to magnets – too close to their location can disable cardioverter-defibrillator. And as we all know, the iPad 2 has a built-in cabinet magnets that allow the use of the Smart Cover.
showed Chein, although the magnets are too weak to do damage during normal use of the iPad, so now the tablet proximity (eg, sleep with him on the chest) may turn cardioverter-defibrillator. This was done in 8 of 26 people surveyed by Gianna.
Although the study Cheinare not in themselves revealing, at the end of the risks associated with magnets is known, however, shows that sometimes the least expected thing can trigger a fatal accident.
