Anyone with pacemakers use the FF monitor with device techs for adjustments. Just recently had a pacemaker implant – ten days ago. Still on the mend – wound and anchor setting for the wires. Anxious to test the rate response setting with increased exercise activities. Mainly a cyclist but can test running too. I have the Boston Science Accolade that monitors rate response on motion and ventilation. Curious about others who have gone through the device setting adjustments with the device techs and manufacturers.

Hi Tom – I have a pacemaker and FF has been extremely useful in helping to sort out various arrhythmias that I have developed and provided very useful information to help the electrophysiologists adjust the settings. Although it has a battery and bluetooth I do not think it gives out enough EM radiation to affect the PM – but like all “household” devices probably best to keep it a bit away from the pacemaker site. Mine, however, probably sits a bit less than the recommended 6 inches from the PM and I have not had any problem. Modern PMs are pretty well shielded I think.

I had a pacemaker fitted two years ago and use FF for running, cycling, HIIT Circuit and weight training and I have yet to experience any issues.

I was able to use the HR graph to show my pacing tech team how my PM was not tracking and pacing above a certain HR level. They found the graph very helpful and were able to adjust the upper tracking/pacing levels for me.
