In 2007, Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist disabled the wireless functionality of his pacemaker because of just that risk.

Because the battery is soft and flexible, it could be put into a person's soft tissue, where it should be capable of providing a power source for a pacemaker or other medical device.

In the past, MRIs have been considered risky because of the fear a pacemaker or defibrillator device's generator circuits could be disrupted, or its metal leads could be pulled out of place by the magnetism, or the lead tips could become hot and scar surrounding tissues, interfering with pacing and defibrillating function.
