Electromagnetic interference
Many common devices, including motors and electronic equipment, may produce
electromagnetic interference, also known as EMI, that can affect the operation of
the LifeVest device. The LifeVest device has been tested with a number of
common sources of such interference, including cellular telephones, airport
security systems, and anti-theft detection systems. This testing, along with
clinical trial testing, has demonstrated that in everyday use the LifeVest device is
not normally affected by commonly encountered electromagnetic interference.

Anti-theft detection systems, also known as electronic article surveillance
systems, are often used in department stores and libraries to prevent theft by
electronically sensing a special tag on a piece of merchandise when the tag
passes through a detector gate. In the USA, these detector gates are commonly
located near the doorways. In Europe, the detector gates may be positioned near
the checkout areas.

To prevent possible interference with the LifeVest device, follow these simple
guidelines when passing through airport security gates or anti-theft detection
gates:
guidelines when passing through airport security gates or anti-theft detection
gates:
y
Walk through the gate at a normal pace.
y
Avoid lingering near or leaning on the gate.
In some occupational and hospital environments, unusually high levels of
electromagnetic interference may be encountered. Examples of possible sources
of such interference include: communication equipment such as microwave
transmitters, arc welding equipment, high voltage transmission lines,
electrocautery systems, and electronic muscle stimulators. These environments
should be avoided while wearing the LifeVest device.

In the unlikely event that electromagnetic interference causes you to receive
arrhythmia alarms, hold the response buttons to prevent being shocked and
move away from the source of the interference. The LifeVest device should
return to normal monitoring mode in approximately 5 seconds.
