Summary:To the Editor: We ask the investigators of the Aveir DR i2i study (June 22 issue) 1 to provide additional data to help clinicians assess the safety of the dual-chamber leadless pacemaker (Aveir, Abbott Medical). Cardiac implantable electronic devices, including pacemakers, are susceptible to intermediate-frequency electromagnetic interference that can lead to inappropriate device operation. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and others have warned that cell phones, smartwatches, and smartscales can generate electromagnetic interference that affect cardiac implantable electronic devices. 2,3 In fact, the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max with wireless charging technology has been found to generate electromagnetic interference that . . .
