Hello Doc,My mother is 80 years old and has a pacemaker.  She lives in NE Pennsylvania.  I was sthinking about getting her an Infrared heater for her living room to help with heating.  The placement would be about 10-12 feet away from where she normally sits.  Can the infrared cause damage to the Pacemaker?Thanks,Hank
Hi, An infrared heater does not have any elements that will interfere with a pacemaker. Therefore, it should be safe for you to use it for your mother as per the distance advised by the company. Interference usually occurs with equipments having electromagnetic parts example motors, induction cook tops etc. where the patient needs to be at least 2 feet away from such equipment. Hope this clears your doubt.
