Persons with arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation, or other heart-related condition, may find that some data, such as resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep staging accuracy, can be affected. All data besides sleep staging will remain unaffected and fully accessible to users with pacemakers. Depending on the nature of the pacemaker and its pacing mode, this could affect the accuracy of your sleep staging data. Oura cannot issue a guarantee on our products' compatibility with implanted devices. If you experience discomfort while wearing your ring, we suggest removing the ring and consulting your physician or another medical professional. There should be no interference with a pacemaker’s functionality. Bluetooth is only active in the Oura Ring during a small portion of each day, falling well below 1%. This compares to all cell phones sold in the United States, which have an SAR level at or below 1.6 W/kg. Oura’s EMF frequency is relatively low, with an SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) level of 0.0003 W/kg. You should be able to use the Oura Ring with a pacemaker, although we advise you to check-in with your physician prior to making this decision. Individuals with sleep apnea may experience reduced deep and REM sleep, which may be reported as excessive awake time in the Oura App. While the Oura Ring cannot be used to diagnose sleep apnea, it can provide helpful insights on the quality of your sleep. Sleep Apnea is a common medical condition that occurs when the respiratory airflow is interrupted during sleep. Please keep these in mind, especially if you’ve been diagnosed with, or are currently being treated for one of the conditions listed below, as you may experience variations in your daily insights provided by the Oura App. The following medical conditions have resulted in differentiated data for some users. Please do not make any changes to your medication, daily routines, nutrition, sleep schedule, or workouts, without first consulting your doctor or another medical professional. The Oura Ring is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, or prevent medical conditions/illnesses.
