Descriptive ethics will hence try to oversee whether ethics still holds its place. Because descriptive ethics involves empirical investigation, it is a field that is usually investigated by those working in the fields of evolutionary biology, psychology, sociology or anthropology. Information that comes from descriptive ethics is, however, also used in philosophical arguments.
To deactivate an ICD or alter pacemaker function, a magnet has to have a field strength of 10 gauss (a unit of magnetic strength) or greater next to the surface of the device. A magnet in a stereo speaker has a field strength of 100 gauss at the surface - but 0 gauss 6 inches away.
Letâs Talk Sensing. Sensing is the ability of the pacemaker to detect the heartâs intrinsic electrical activity. The lower the sensitivity setting, the more readily it will detect a subtle signal. In contrast, the higher the sensitivity setting, the less sensitive the pacemaker will be when detecting low amplitude electrical activity.
