A Pacemaker and the Polar Heart Rate Monitor
Persons who have a pacemaker or defibrillator use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.
The manufacturer of the defibrillator has to approve the simultaneous use of Polar Heart Rate Monitor and the defibrillator.
Technical information about radiated magnetic field of the transmitter:
Polar Non-Coded Transmitter:
Transmission frequency: 5kHz
Means of transmission: On/Off -modulation, magnetic field by means of a 5-7ms burst for each heart beat.
Polar Coded Transmitter:
Transmission frequency: 5kHz
Means of transmission: On/Off -modulation, magnetic field by means of a train of three 5ms bursts for each heart beat Time Interval Coding.
The strength of the magnetic field right next to the transmitter is 5 uT (micro tesla) and 1 nT at 1 m distance. Even in the worst case the radiated power is under 2 nW
