pacemaker precautions - travelling

Most people with pacemakers can travel with ease, by car, bus, train, or airline. You should, however, take the following precautions before walking through security systems.

It is unlikely that your pacemaker will set off -- or be harmed by -- home, retail, or library security systems. Just walk normally through store theft detectors and do not linger near the theft detector.

Always carry your pacemaker ID card, should your pacemaker set off a metal detector or security system.
