A new study authored by FDA researcher Howard Bassen and colleagues has concludes that the low-level magnetic fields and resulting induced voltages produced by Apple’s iconic iPod music players pose no risk to patients with implanted pacemakers.
Reported in Biomedical Engineering Online, the study outlines a series of experiments with a fourth-generation Apple iPod, an iPod nano, an iPod with video, and an iPod shuffle being used near a saline-filled bag simulating the human body and a sensor designed to measure emissions from the portable music players.
