CDRH Instructs on Magnetic Field Interference with Shunt Systems Magnetic externally programmable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt valve settings can inadvertently change when at a distance of fewer ...

Current medical guidelines have prompted implementation of increasing numbers of implantable rhythm devices, be they pacemakers, internal cardioverter–defibrillators or loop recorders. These devices ...

As competitor Philips continues to grapple with the effects of its long-standing recall of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines and other respiratory devices, ResMed is now issuing a ...

Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external magnetic interference, making them ideal for high-speed, high-density ...

Relatively weak magnets in consumer products have always posed some risk, usually very low, to the function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). However, stronger, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The latest generation of 3D magnetic position sensors from ams AG uses a pair of sensor elements (pixels) that make it ...

There is an invisible force protecting us, keeping our atmosphere in place. Without it, life on Earth would be over very ...

An international research team led by DTU has developed a new magnetic material that features a stable internal magnetic structure, almost no external magnetic field, and retains these properties ...
