How electromagnetic wave protection works
EMS Pad shields AC magnetic fields. If an AC magnetic field is incident on the loop surface (inside the ring) made by the telemetry coil and lead inside the main body of a pacemaker, ICD, etc., it can cause the pacemaker, ICD, etc. to function improperly. If two "EMS Pads" are placed on the front and back of the body to cover the loop surface, the AC magnetic field will be shielded efficiently. In addition, even if an AC magnetic field is incident from the side of the loop surface, it is hardly incident on the loop surface (inside the ring), so the influence of the AC magnetic field from the side is very small, and rather the influence of the magnetic field from the front and back due to the wraparound is greater, so it is optimal to place the "EMS Pad" on the front and back.
Comparison with other companies' products
MG Vest
It is compatible with devices that generate electromagnetic waves (AC magnetic fields and radio waves) found in everyday life (cell phones, amateur radio equipment, induction cookers, anti-theft devices, engines, etc.) and some workplace environments.
Other companies
Currently, no other company handles electromagnetic radiation protection clothing for pacemakers, ICDs, etc. We are the only manufacturer in the world of electromagnetic radiation protection clothing for pacemakers, ICDs, etc.
EMS Pad
5-layer EMS Pad (insert into your inner clothing pocket) that attenuates low-frequency magnetic fields from 30kHz to 300kHz by 45 to 60dB (99.35 to 99.99%). *Made of lightweight, soft material.
- １．Low Frequency Magnetic Field
- ２．3 layers of aluminum foil
- ３．High permeability magnetic material sheet, 2 layers
- ４．Magnetic field shielding

Five-layer structure (thickness 0.7 mm) consisting of three layers of aluminum film and two layers of high permeability magnetic material sheet
The combination of a magnetic layer with a maximum magnetic permeability of 200,000 (in a vacuum) and a highly conductive aluminum layer diverts the energy of the low frequency magnetic field. Furthermore, the low frequency magnetic field is attenuated by repeated reflection and absorption.
Comparison of electromagnetic shielding between our products and conventional products (materials)
The electromagnetic shielding graph above shows the measurement of the "shielding magnetic field strength" at frequencies from 0Hz to 1000KHz. EMS Pad shields low frequency magnetic fields generated by AC currents and induction cookers, which conventional coating materials have little shielding performance. The graph below shows the electric field shielding data measured by the KEC method at high frequency electromagnetic wave noise.
Theoretical support
1. Theoretical formula for electromagnetic shielding effectiveness
The larger S, the greater the electromagnetic shielding effect. Therefore, it is necessary to select a material with a large δ for the electromagnetic shielding material. For the EMS Pad, a high-permeability magnetic material sheet (120 μm thick) was used.
2. Improved electromagnetic shielding rate through multi-layering of materials
The theoretical formula for the electromagnetic shielding effect S when the material is multi-layered is shown below.
The larger S is, the higher the electromagnetic shielding effect is. Electromagnetic shielding performance is improved by laminating electromagnetic shielding materials. The EMS Pad is made up of a five-layer structure of aluminum foil and high-permeability magnetic material sheets.
3. Shielding magnetic field strength measurement test
The shielding magnetic field strength is measured using the following method [Figure 2]. A tracking pulse is transmitted from a transmitting loop antenna and received by a receiving loop antenna separated by the material under test, and the shielding strength is measured.
▲ Figure 2. Shielding magnetic field strength measurement test method
The results of the shielding magnetic field strength measurement test for the EMS Pad are shown in Figure 3. This sheet is made up of a five-layer structure of aluminum foil and high-permeability magnetic material sheets, and despite its thickness of 0.7 mm, a shielding magnetic field strength measurement test at the material value confirmed a maximum shielding rate of approximately 60 dB (99.9%) in low-frequency electromagnetic fields from 100 Hz to 300 kHz. It has been confirmed that the low-frequency electromagnetic field emitted by induction cookers has the strongest energy in the 20 kHz to 30 kHz range, and the shielding rate in this vicinity was confirmed to be 60 dB (99.9%).
