Kyle, they most certainly do :-) that is how I turn them off when people get shocked or have a malfunction...trust me on that one. If you like I can send you one of those magnets ;-) anyhow I will get with the rep tonight and see if I get you something more than just anecdotal. The question here should be how much of a magnetic field do we have to have to interrupt any medical device. I am really thinking about getting a magnet and doing a couple of tests with it. I also will speak with the Biomed guys and our physicist Yes, I do have pacemakers handy :-). So if anyone has a couple of those magnets let me know and may be we can do a couple of tests Lets be scientific about this.

I also will speak with the Biomed guys and our physicist It requires a magnet with the field strength of 10 gauss or greater next to the surface of the device. The magnet in a speaker has a strength of 100 gauss at the surface - but 0 gauss 6 inches away. Yes, I do have pacemakers handy :-).
