Yes, you may go through anti theft devices without worry.

Occasionally you may find one that will make you feel about the same as you feel when a magnet is placed over your pacemaker during a checkup (for me that feels like my heart skipped a beat), but don't worry. As soon as you get a few feet away from the device your pacemaker will return to normal operation and no harm will have been done.

I will add you will find there are very few things that will have a lasting effect on your pacemaker. Pacemakers are not nearly as fragile as the literature we receive indicates. So enjoy your pacemaker and don't worry.

 

Welcome to the forum.

I work around all sorts of electronic equipment and machinery without problems. So far I have never set off an alarm either.

It's OK to go through, but go through quickly. If the alarm rings just show them your pacemaker card.
