It wasn't intentionally designed in such a way as to cause possible interference with pacemakers, but it was only after it was designed and landed on a large scale that it was realized that it could potentially interfere with pacemakers.
Foreign media related reports, since the launch of Apple's iPhone 12 series models, Apple has acknowledged that these devices may cause electromagnetic interference with pacemakers and defibrillators and other medical devices, Apple has now responded to this matter urgently.
Apple has now urgently added a new part of the introduction to MagSafe's support documentation:? Medical devices such as implantable pacemakers and defibrillators may contain sensors that respond to magnets and radio devices when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these medical devices, keep your iPhone and MagSafe magnetic accessories a safe distance (more than 6 inches/15 centimeters apart) from your medical device Consult your physician and the device manufacturer for specific guidelines. Medical devices such as implantable pacemakers and defibrillators may contain sensors that respond to magnets and radio devices when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these medical devices, keep your iPhone and MagSafe magnetic accessories a safe distance (more than 6 inches/15 centimeters apart) from your medical device Consult your physician and device manufacturer for specific guidelines.?
? Discontinue using your iPhone or any MagSafe magnetic accessory if you suspect it is interfering with your medical device.? It is understood that the implantable cardiac pacemaker an implanted in the body of the electronic therapeutic apparatus, through the pulse generator to issue electrical impulses, through the wire electrode conduction to stimulate the electrode contact with the myocardium, so that the heart agitation and contraction, so as to achieve the treatment of cardiac dysfunction due to certain cardiac arrhythmia due to the purpose of the heart. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator can sense ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, and set the tachycardia sensing frequency according to the clinical ventricular tachycardia frequency. When the ventricular tachycardia frequency is higher than the sensing frequency, the pulse generator is triggered to discharge, releasing shock energy to the heart to carry out the therapeutic function.
As previously reported, three doctors in Michigan, USA, conducted a study on the magnetic interference of the Phone12 model. They tested this interaction by placing the iPhone12 close to a patient's implantable cardioverter defibrillator, and during the test, when the iPhone12 was close to the device, the device immediately went into ? pause? state. The implantable pacemaker can be considered a lifesaver for patients with an atrophied heart, and is essential in order to live a normal life, which could have serious consequences or even life-threatening consequences if it is interfered with to cause it to work abnormally.
