can device beused by people with pacemakers?

I presume it can be, as it measures BP with the usual arm cuff. However, if this is crucial to your selection, clearly you need to speak with your cardiologist.

My resting pulse if 56 and I have had no problems. Be sure that it is fastened snugly and that you do not have any lotion on. It does not work well if you are doing an activity where you will be flexing your wrist a lot (like yoga and weight lifting). Works well for running, cycling, etc.

Should be safe for metal surgical pins etc. Only warning is for those with pacemakers and other implanted electronic devices. However, most modern pacemakers etc are safe to use with a very low bioimpedance device such as this. The warning is mostly a CYA for the manufacturer. Always consult with your own physician to confirm your personal situation.

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure it's designed as a personal device. I can't see that it would be hygenic to share it, even in a family setting. In a sports or clinical setting I'm certain it would be a non-starter. If you're a clinician, I would suggest getting in touch with the company directly, as I think they have a range of solutions.

You would have to ask your cardiologist! I would not think you could, because we use magnets to stop pacemakers

I think yes, they could. But it would be a hassle cleaning and disinfecting between users. The wear and tear of adjusting the resistance between uses would diminish the useful life. If you ask me if it is worth to buy another, yes. Just check that you buy the correct one for your initial fitness status.

No. The battery wouldn't last that long AND you would not get an accurate reading. I do not use this meter anymore because of the inaccuracies in the levels and pulse readings. I hope I helped you with your question.

Larry, Depends on the frequency of the bicycle transmitter. I'll assume the bicycle transmitter is digital and I know that the HRM is analog so it's a tough call. If ithe bicycle transmitter is close to the operating frequency or it's harmonics it possibly could interfere with the HRM but, today, most transmitters operate in a very tight range. As to the comment that this HRM is not intuitive I would agree. On the bright side, I have been using it for 3 years, 3 days a week, and does what I need it for, with no problem of crosstalk with any other HRM in use at my gym.

I wondered about this too. Then again, when I bought mine.... nurses were using a similar device. When I compared mine with their's by putting one on each hand. It was within 1% of them. One day mine was higher by 1% and another day it was under 1%.

Not with this device. It worked okay for the first few months, but then the buzzers would just go off at random, and sometimes you would have to take the battery out to get it to stop buzzing. Plus, the sound emitted was not loud enough for a person who is hard of hearing to hear. Would not recommend this to others.

Nope. Instruction manual says device is not recommended for people with implants. By application, the device scale passes a micro current through our body from the hands to the feet, detecting resistance. This micro current is likely to interfere with the implants, since the purpose of an implant is to trigger a current once it detects the heart to be weak/disfunctional. The micro current may interfere with the implant either on the current signal - introducing confusion since the heart has a signal on itself or may cause disruption in waveforms as a filter is not used to disspate any redundant or unneccessary interference.

I've been using this kit with my Iphone 4s (Runtastic pro) without big issues. Sometimes, I had to pair the cardio strap with my phone when I realized the cardio frequency register seens weird for my usual pattern. In my oppinion, all the ANT + device could be used.

I encountered one organization that was using these radios out of the box. When I did some investigating, I discovered that they were using the radios on a frequency that was licensed to a local hospital for MEDCOM! Any use of these radios (in the United States at least) REQUIRES a license!

Yes, you most definitely can as long as you have the heart rate monitor synced to your watch. Unfortunately this watch doesn't come with a built-in HR monitor. But it can be purchased separately.

Dear Casey,I think so, I have even used a heart rate band from my old (broken) watch/monitor, and it works fine.
