Any MRI Technologist out there use any of the newer Fitbit devices?
I have used the Alta Hr for 4 yrs and had NO problems inside as a practice patient or around the magnetic fields up to 7T.
However I am looking for a Fitbit that can better track my arrhythmias instead of wearing a heart monitor for my cardiologist be inspired to is what I'm inquiring about any information on any of the devices would be helpful.
I know that all of the Apple devices will break entirely if worn into these magnets, or in two zone four.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am an MRI technologist working in and around magnetic fields up to 3T soon to be around 7T.
I have worn my Alta HR for over four years and it still works like brand new. All functions are still fully operational like notifications vibrations etc.
I am looking for a newer model that can better track heart arrhythmias.
Are there any suggestions as to which model I can wear in and around magnetic field strengths up to 3T?
Wearing a monitor for my cardiologist is difficult these days.
Thank you for your help!!

Hi @Gretchie50 these devices, no matter how advanced, aren't to replace a medical device. If your cardiologist has you wearing a heart monitor, you should discuss this with them.

Hi just checking if you have found an answer? I’ve had my charge 2 for years in the 3T and no issues. Looking at getting the charge 5 maybe? Curious what you did!
