Testing with A Pacemaker or Implant

It is safe to do a DEXA scan, BOD POD test, SECA test, Hydrostatic Weighing test and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) with a pacemaker and/or implant. Please notify the test administrator before the test begins. 

If you have a pacemaker and want to do a VO2 Max test, it would be essential for you to have written permission from your primary care physician. The location could still refuse to administer the test if they feel that the risks are too high.
