Therefore, you must not use magnets near pacemakers

It cannot be emphasized enough that you must not use magnets near people with pacemakers. A distance of min. 20 cm. is necessary, but to be safe it is best not to do so.

Pacemakers can switch off on magnetic contact

The electronics in pacemakers are sensitive to strong magnets, and in the worst case can put a pacemaker out of action. Obviously, a larger magnet in close contact with the skin is needed for this to happen, but since it can be a matter of life and death for people with pacemakers, there is no reason to be overconfident.

Many of the smallest neodymium magnets are used in everyday things that are not directly dangerous for people with pacemakers, but are magnets a la these tiny neodymium magnets:

Hospitals use magnets for terminal patients

For insurance reasons and to avoid crime, we cannot disclose here exactly which magnets we sell to hospitals to disable pacemakers in terminally ill patients. We are happy to guide healthcare professionals who have a real interest in the correct use of magnets on pacemakers. So feel free to contact us about this.

Disclaimer: it is of course not tested on customers, family or animals; but in collaboration with a hospital in Norway, where they use our magnets to switch off pacemakers on patients who are dying (in terminal condition). This is to ensure that the pacemaker does not give an accidental shock - including when the patient is transferred to the mortuary.

Magnets also need to be kept in distance from insulin pumps

As with pacemakers, the electronics in insulin pumps are also very sensitive and do not tolerate magnetism very well. Read our post about magnets and insulin pumps here.
