Risks due to electromagnetic fields
The functionality of implantable systems, such as cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter
defibrillators (ICD) can be affected by electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields.
> Find out if patient and user have implanted systems before using the medical device and consider the
application.
> Weigh the risks and benefits.
> Keep the medical device away from implanted systems.
> Do not place the motor on the patient's body.
> Make appropriate emergency provisions and take immediate action on any signs of ill-health.
> Symptoms such as raised heartbeat, irregular pulse and dizziness can be signs of a problem with a
cardiac pacemaker or ICD.
Rotational energy
Fast deceleration of the bur can, at times, cause the selected torque to be temporarily exceeded,
compared to the value set, as a result of the rotational energy stored in the drive system.
