Welding with a pacemaker

I have a Defibrillator with a pacer as secondary function since 2011
It is not recommended to operate a welder as it generates an electromagnetic field which could interfere with the operation of the pacer or defibrillator
It might trigger it or prevent it from pacing
I called mfg and couldn’t get a straight answer Just not recommended
That said. My unit never went off
I do weld IE TACK WELD ONLY MIG
Intermittently only and I only returned to weld in 2019. Without any issues
I have the welder as far away as possible and my back to it
Now. Should I ? Probably not
Should you ? NO. DEFINITELY NOT
The welding could interfere with the pacing - make it go up instead of down or stop it altogether while it’s trying to pace
It’s the magnetic field that’s the issue
Also NO ignition work with engine running. That’s worst than welding
Hope this helps. Stay alive.
