metal detectors used security screening
similarly patients other electrical stimulation devices, patients ccm™ device must follow precautions arising device implantation , function.
electromagnetic fields: strong electromagnetic fields can interfere function of ccm™ device. interference lead inhibition of ccm™ signal delivery. once away field, ccm™ device resume normal function in cases. electromagnetic fields of household appliances considered harmless.
mobile phones: other electrical stimulation devices, such pacemakers, aside recommended safety distance of 10–15 cm (4-6 inches) between ccm™ device , mobile phones, there no restrictions on use of mobile phones.
security checks: full body or hand-held metal detectors, such used @ airport security controls, not affect function of ccm™ device. however, such detectors used there signs warning people cardiac pacemakers , defibrillators, , ccm™ patients therefore advised present device id. in these cases, security check typically continue use of hand-held metal detector or physical inspection.
sports: sports associated increased stress on arms or chest, such body building, martial arts or tennis, not permitted. diving permitted depth of 5 meters due high pressure @ greater depths.

magnetic resonance imaging (mri): other electrical stimulation devices, such pacemakers, ccm™ therapy contraindication mri, medical imaging technique.
