Can I use an induction hob if I have a pacemaker?
All IKEA induction hobs comply with electromagnetic safety standards. If you have a pacemaker or other electrical implants, you must consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the implant before using an induction product. This is to ensure that the implant is not affected by the product’s electromagnetic field.
All IKEA induction hobs are thoroughly tested and comply with international safety standards for electromagnetic compatibility. This means they are safe to use in typical home environments. However, individuals with pacemakers or other electrical implants should exercise extra caution, as electromagnetic fields may affect medical devices. To ensure safe use, it is always recommended to consult your doctor or the manufacturer of your implant before using an induction hob.
