(UK) both warn that magnets can affect the operation of implanted pacemakers,
cardioverters, defibrillators, insulin pumps or other electro medical devices (collectively,
“Medical Device”) within the range of 15 cm (6 inches). If you are a user of any of
these Medical Devices, DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE AND SOME ACCESSORIES (SOLD
SEPARATELY) UNLESS YOU HAVE CONSULTED WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.
