I have an ICD for Brugada Syndrome, which is being replaced on Monday due to battery failure. Warnings about strong magnets are standard with them. In fact we're advised to use speaker-phone or headsets if possible, as holding mobile phones to the left ear may disable the device. I also have authority to bypass many security scanners as I'm disabled (as in my device is in "stupid mode" which means no cardioversion or defibrillation) whilst within them. So this is old news, at least to those of us with ICDs. There's no way we put anything magnetic or that produces EM fields in a left hand shirt pocket.
