MG Vest ST Ｑ&Ａ

QCan I choose the size?

AWe have S-M, M-LL, LL-4L. (Please see "Sizes".) For those who do not fit the pre-made size, we will make clothes that fit the size.

QIs it not heavy when you wear it?

AThe MG Vest ST is around 200g, and is lighter than a short-sleeved polo shirt, so it doesn't bother you at all. (Short-sleeved polo shirts weigh more than 250g)

QDoes the EMS pad feel like it's floating?

ABend and blend the EMS pads along your body.（Please see number 4 of "How to wear."）

QDoes MG Vest ST support long-term care insurance and subsidies?

A■We do not cover nursing care insurance. ■The subsidy will be 20,000 yen in purchase subsidies to pacemakers and ICD patients living in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Minato-ku and Sumida-ku, Tokyo, and Nanbu-cho, Aomori Prefecture. Other local governments or national governments are not currently providing this service.

QThe MG Vest ST has a useful life of 2 years, so can you easily check the electromagnetic protection performance?

AWhen the warranty period ends, we will inform you of the end of the product's warranty period. Please note that the manufacturer's warranty is 2 years.

QA pacemaker, ICD, etc. are implanted in the abdomen. It is different from the general planting location, but is it okay?

AWhen placing an order from our shop, please select "Abdominal use" from the options "Pacemaker, ICD, etc. Position". After confirming your order, we will check the detailed planting location by phone and create it. The sewing process will start from scratch, so it will take some time.

QAn elementary school child implants a pacemaker, ICD, etc. in his abdomen. The adult S size is large and I don't think the pad position is right, so is it okay?

AFor those who do not fit the pre-made size, we make them sizes that fit your body. We will also handle the location of the planting, so please feel free to contact us.

QHow should I wear it? Do you wear it on top of clothes? Or under clothes?

AThe performance is the same whether worn under or over clothes. Wearing it under clothes will feel warm, but if you work outdoors on a hot summer day, it will feel hot, so wearing it over clothes will help ease the heat.

QWhat happens if I don't store or seal my MG vest in a bag?

ASilver fibers slowly oxidize, chloride, and sulfurize. Oxidation is more likely to progress when exposed to air for a long time, chloride is more likely to progress when it is close to the sea, and sulfide is more likely to lead to high sulfur content in the atmosphere in hot spring towns and other places, so this is a strong tendency. When silver fibers become oxidized, chloride or sulfurized, the conductivity of the silver fibers decreases, which reduces the electromagnetic wave protection effect.

QHow do I wash and care for it?

ASee "Washing instructions".

QI did the wrong laundry. What should I do?

AThe treatment will vary depending on the washing method, so please contact us directly.

QI plan to wear an MG vest every day, but should I buy a new one every year?

AIf you wear it every day, we recommend replacing it every year. Even regular clothing can damage the fibers if worn every day for a year. Also, be careful when washing. Regardless of the season, if you wear it for more than two hours a day, or if it is worn for less than two hours per day, please follow the washing instructions provided by our company once a week.

QCan I wear an MG vest over or underneath?

AThe lining of the MG vest is made from underwear fabric. You can wear it under your underwear or on top.

QWork restrictions are being placed on the ground due to the problems of electromagnetic interference from pacemakers and ICDs. Can I work if I wear an MG vest?

AThe electromagnetic environment at the place of work varies from place to place. We will provide you with electromagnetic protection suits that are suitable for your workplace, so please contact our customer support first.

QThere is a high-voltage power line (20,000 volts) near the residence. How far away from the power transmission line is, will the pacemaker, ICD, etc. not be affected?

AThe maximum power transmission line is 1 million volts, and the typical high voltage type is 200,000 volts. There is a possibility that the nearby high-voltage transmission lines will affect the pacemakers, ICDs, etc., but in reality, it is predicted that the power lines will not affect the pacemakers, ICDs, etc. unless they climb into the railroad tower. Pacemakers, ICDs, etc. generally state that "Please avoid going near high voltage lines," but this is not a problem in daily life. We are unable to answer any specific safety distances, so please contact the company you are using, such as a pacemaker, ICD, etc.

QIs there any problem with families with pacemakers, ICDs, etc. getting into the passenger seat of a car with an intelligent key?

AThere have been cases where pacemakers, ICDs, etc. have been affected by electromagnetic waves emitted from door handles, antennas, or indoor antennas that communicate with intelligent keys (smart keys). However, the effect was transient and was only seen when it was significantly closer to the antenna (within 10cm). Therefore, it is fine as long as you are in a normal position. The smart key itself also transmits signals (radio waves) and communicates with door handle antennas and indoor antennas. However, since the signal is weak, there is almost no need to worry. It is not recommended to put the intelligent key in the chest pocket, close to a pacemaker, ICD, etc., and operate it, but it is unlikely that it will have any impact if you just sit in the passenger seat. If you are concerned, wear our MG vest and we can provide complete protection.

QWill car navigation systems affect pacemakers, ICDs, etc.?

ACar navigation is fine。

QDoes driving a motorcycle affect the pacemaker, ICD, etc.?

AEven if you just ride a motorcycle, if your pacemaker, ICD, etc. uses a rate response function (a function that adjusts the pulse speed according to your physical condition), your rate (pulse) may increase. If you use a rate response function, it is best to refrain from riding your bike. When doing maintenance and inspection, please do not approach the operating engine. Furthermore, if you approach the car's radio antenna installed by trucks, etc., the radio waves may affect the pacemaker, ICD, etc. The above problems can be avoided by using an MG vest.

QIs there a correlation between the effects of motorcycle displacement and electromagnetic waves that are more likely to have a stronger effect if the engine displacement is large?

AThe electromagnetic waves in the engine are mainly spark noise generated by the spark plug. The influence of electromagnetic waves will vary depending on the number of cylinders and the condition of the engine cover rather than the displacement.。

QWhen driving a car myself, I turn the cell, start the engine, and start the drive, but do I need to wear a vest at that time? The manual says that it is not allowed for cells, so is it pointless to drive while wearing a vest? How about getting in the passenger seat?

AWhen you turn the motor, a large current flows through the entire car. The moment you turn it, if you are bradycardia and the pacemaker is operating, a pulse will fall for one beat. Unless the speaker motor is turned on and off again and again, the person himself won't know if the pulse is incredible for one beat. Also, if you have a self-heart, the pacemaker has stopped, so there is no effect at all. Our electromagnetic protection suits can prevent it to some extent, but this may not be possible as it is an impact on the entire car. However, it is extremely rare that there is no self-heart and the cell motor is repeatedly turned repeatedly. If you only pay attention to this point, it can be said that there is no problem even if you are not wearing it.

QHow much electromagnetic waves can you prevent by wearing only electromagnetic protection suits (without EMS pads)?

AEMS pads mainly protect against magnetic and low-frequency magnetic fields. Magnetics refer to magnets, but there are many devices that generate low-frequency radio waves, including induction cookers, motors, and power supplies. Although "vanced only" can be used for communication devices such as radios and devices that generate high frequency, low frequency magnetic fields cannot be prevented. To put it in extreme terms, pads protect a wide range from low to high frequencies, so even pads alone can almost prevent them.
