Does Pacemaker S Battery Life Is 3 Months?
I had my pacemaker check yesterday. It s being checked monthly now because the battery life is low. I was told that the battery life is 3 months by the technician. Does this mean 3 months? or is there some padding on the 3 months? I was not not told that they will schedule a replacement surgery. They simply scheduled another pacemaker check in one month. You didn t tell me you were going to charge me money.

r u talking about an implanted pacemaker.
if it is yes then the technician should buy sony or Panasonic batteries made in Japan. not china.
the lowest life soan is 5 yrs. usually it last for 8-10 yrs if there has been no defib occurrences in between.
with respect to ur health run as fast as u can to the next cardiac centre.
I think u r being taken for a ride if ur pacemaker is implanted.
