Will a novelty hand buzzer or toy electric shocker affect my ICD?

No. The tiny electrical current produced by a novelty hand buzzer or similar toy is far too weak to interfere with an ICD. There is no clinical evidence that these devices pose any risk to implanted cardiac devices.

If you have any concerns about a specific device or situation, contact your ICD clinic for reassurance.
