Why this sign: It should be posted at the entrance to any area containing strong electromagnetic fields, powerful magnets, or high-current electrical equipment that could disrupt active implanted cardiac devices such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The sign addresses the risk of device malfunction, which can result in loss of pacing function or inappropriate shocks, both of which may be life-threatening.
