I have had a pacemaker for 8 years. Actually on the second one now. The surgeon that installed the first one said no arc welding but TIG welding was ok. Go figure! I questioned the Medtronic representative that was present when I got the second one, he said they advise to avoid all electromagnetic fields. He did say that it would not harm the device but may cause it to not function properly during exposure, but it would return to normal function as soon as the exposure ceased. He said the real problem is how much you depend on the pacer, in my case it is 98%. According to the Medtronic rep the Pacemaker is not the one in danger during arc welding. I know welders that have continued to work for years after getting a pacemaker. Phil
