Can this be used with pacemaker? Would the right shoulder be far enough away?

Dear Deputy Dawg,We understand your concern and frustration about using the device near your pacemaker. This is a standard FDA warning for any light therapy devices. We have not studied TenDlite with pacemaker patients, so we can not advice you to use it near a pacemaker. You may ask your doctor if your pacemaker is susceptible to interference from a handheld red light LED device, and what distance is safe. You may also contact the Pacemaker manufacturer. They should know what may interferes with it's pulse settings.If you decide to return the device, we will gladly refund your purchase price.all the best,Team Tendlite Dear Deputy Dawg,We understand your concern and frustration about using the device near your pacemaker.

As I understand, the unit cannot be used with a pacemaker. You can contact the Tendlite company and they will be very happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact them.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to use it a lot. My guess is that it would not be possible, since the upper arm lays about 3 feet over the patient's head (and would collide with the car's roof).

The instruction books says the watch and the chest strap should be no more then 3 feet apart. I have placed the watch on the display in front of me on the treadmill and it was fine. Hope this helps you. Good LuckSam

I doubt they will make one for the pro. I have the magnetic platform and love it! The magnets are very powerful though. There is a warning if you have a pacemaker. For this reason, I think they wouldn't make an even larger one. The small one will work in the pro. I have the pro and the newer big shot. The magnetic platform is one of the best things I have bought. Keep your smart phone away from it and keep it away from computers because of the magnets.

Short answer:No. Longer answer there is an arm band that Amazon sells that you can buy an extension that should works .

Interesting question. I just measured my arm and it's 12"! But I believe any bigger than that you'd definitely need a bigger cuff, which probably can be ordered. The 12" cuff JUST fits me so any bigger than that, no. It also indicates when you've put it on properly, it has a circle with OK in it. Otherwise, it stops working until you have it on right. It does do heart beats rate but if you have an irregular heart beat, it would possibly show it OR it may shut down. The B/P monitoring company most likely doesn't want to get sued for someone having an irregular heartbeat so I think it will shut down. Contact manufacturer, I'm sure they'd be very happy to help.

I don't think it matters but I just tried it and got different readings from one arm to the other. It is important to have your arm at the level of your heart and not below.

Yes you could. It doesn't impede use of your hand as there isn't much padding. It's comfortable to wear. But I don't know how long the material will hold up if you are using it with dumb bells, bench presses and the like. After 1 year mine has shown some wear with some stitching coming loose. But I have used it a lot. It is an awesome product. I have used it primarily for my wrist but have also wrapped it around my elbow to ice the elbow.

People with internal pacemakers, or defibrillators, are at risk of serious medical repercussions if they choose to wear magnetic bracelets. The pacemaker's signals can be interrupted by magnetic bracelets. Should the pacemaker's signal be interrupted, an arrhythmia can quickly develop, which can lead to angina, heart attack, heart failure or stroke. With an internal defibrillator, the signals from the heart can be misinterpreted, resulting in defibrillation of an already beating heart, or no defibrillation when needed. It is important to understand the sensitive nature of pacemakers and defibrillators and keep them as far away from magnetic bracelets as possible.

While I cannot answer on the basis of what frequencies might interfere in regards to your pacemaker, might I suggest contacting Bose Technical Support for fault isolation? I am sure Bose would want to get to the heart of the matter; no pun intended.

It works equally well for me on both wrists, are you sure you hold the device close to your heart ? I can't say anything more, the device is usually very close to what my cuff device reads regarding blood pressure

Hi Richard - Sorry Magnetic Bracelets should not be worn by anyone wearing a pacemaker. You will receive give a warning about this in the product information card you would receive if you order the bracelet. Lori - Customer Services, Earth Therapy

This unit is too big and heavy to use on your neck and shoulder area. If you do a search for "percussion massager" on Amazon, you'll find several hand-held models with a long handle which should fit your needs better. I've purchased the "Thumper E501 NA Sport Percussive Massager", and it does a great job, although it is a higher-end model and costs more. It's built-to-last. I've never had any problems with mine, and am very happy with it.

Sure, don't see any reason why you can't. Across the shoulder is just better on your back and neck.

If it is compatible with your cookware it appears to work great. A magnet must stick to the bottom of your cookware or it will not work. I have only used it once to melt some beeswax. After receiving it we discovered it is not recommended for people with pacemakers and my wife has a pace maker.

Yes but I do not use it. I have set it up once to try out. All you have to do is hit the top of your watch to clock an interval. I think this makes it a great IT for short runs but longer distances mean more chance of hitting the IT as you run. Hope this helps, Andrew

I would not recommend it. It just does not do enough for stabilization/compression. You would probably end up hurting your shoulder further.
