Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Greetings, thanks for contacting us with your question about the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Pacemakers and implantable medical devices should have a minimum separation of six (6) inches between a mobile device and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have such medical devices should: ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON, do not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket, use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference. Turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless mobile device with an implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider. For additional detailed information regarding potential interference and precautions needed for pacemakers, please visit: http://www.fda.gov.
