An investigation was carried out using a variety of pacemakers and all the types of weapons detectors in common use in Canada, to determine whether or not such detectors present a hazard to pacemaker bearers. The results indicate that only left-side implants of unipolar sensing pacemakers are likely to be affected, that ventricular fibrillation initiated by interference-induced competitive pacing is the only conceivable hazard, but that the probability of 10(-9) for the occurrence of this event is so low that it may be completely disregarded. Physicians may therefore reassure pacemaker bearers of their safety in and around airport weapons detectors.
研究人员使用了加拿大常用的各种起搏器和各类武器探测器展开调查，以确定这些探测器是否会对起搏器携带者构成危害。结果表明，只有单极感应起搏器的左侧植入物可能受到影响，干扰引发的竞争性起搏导致的心室颤动是唯一可想到的危害，但该事件发生的概率为10⁻⁹，极低，可完全忽略不计。因此，医生可以让起搏器携带者放心，他们在机场武器探测器附近是安全的。
