Hi. I believe my Versa is interfering with my pacemaker. The heart rate is all over the place.

I suggest you see your doctor to make sure the versa is wrong. Does your pacemaker have bluetooth built in? Many modern ones do and it may be interfering with the Versa somehow.

@kelsang welcome to the community!  The PurePulse sensor in the Versa should be safe to use in this sort of situations. However, we have not extensively tested these devices with pacemakers, and cannot guarantee that there will be no interference or ill effects. You should definitely consult your doctor or other medical professional for an authoritative answer.

 

@SunsetRunner thank you for your help!

 

Hope you have a great day. 🙂
