The sign was most likely for pacemaker patients.
- ortusdux 5y agoAre modern ones still susceptible?
- Nextgrid 5y agoAren't they encased in some bio-compatible metal, essentially making them a faraday cage that should be immune even to direct exposure?
- joezydeco 5y agoI was always under the impression that microwaves posed a hazard to pacemakers because of the magnetic fields involved, not the RF emissions themselves. Pacemakers use magnetic switches inside the sealed device for programming and/or battery shutoff. Lots of things involve pacemaker warnings, including iPhones with MagSafe charging ports in the case.
