“Does Fitbit- Charge 2 affect a implanted defribulator?”

• No sir, it doesn't affect your AICD/defibrillator. The fit bit takes you radial pulse. Your AICD/defibrillator will know if your heart goes out of rhythm into a shockable arrhythmia, you might catch it too in your Fit bit. The advantage of the Fit bit is that it will guide you through a healthy exercise routine - steps, calories, and other features. Definitely a cool gadget and I love it.

• I would check with FitBit to be safe, but I doubt it. The Charge 2 uses an optical sensor to detect pulse, and I don't see how that could affect a defibrillator.

• No. But run it through your doctor just for peace of mind

• I have a pacemaker/defibrillator and have had no issues. I do wear it on the opposite wrist.
