Dina Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I heard it's a problem for people with pacemakers so I am concerned that a coil might cause a problem. Anyone know about this? Anyone have an induction stovetop and find that it's all okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mario Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I wouldn't know about induction stoves being a problem, but my advice would be to ask your doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dina Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Thanks for replying. I did ask 2 doctors. One said no research done , the other said it's fine. Just thought I would put it out there to hear if anyone has induction. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithH Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I hope this helps Induction hobs and pacemaker risk - BHF Pacemakers are small electrical devices that regulate electrical activity in the heart. Anything that produces a strong electromagnetic field can interfere with a pacemaker. Induction hobs do generate electromagnetic fields, so keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) between the stovetop and your pacemaker. Most people should be able to use a hob if they follow these precautions, but if you are choosing a new cooker, it may be easier to pick one that is not an induction hob. source--BRITIH HEART FOUNDATION---HEART MATTERS/MEDICAL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I have had an induction hob for many years and a coiled aneurysm. Coiling is carried out using Platinum which isn't magnetic. You're able to go into a MRI/MRA scanner with Platinum coils and these scanners have extremely powerful magnets that produce the images for the brain/blood vessels/arteries etc. I've had many of these scans post coiling and all okay. I wouldn't worry about an induction hob causing you any problems. If you can go into a MRI/MRA scanner with all of it's magnetic power, you'll honestly be fine. x https://www.brainandspine.org.uk/health-information/fact-sheets/coiling-of-brain-aneurysms/#:~:text=The coils are made of,several coils will be used.
