Don't see why not, after all, all those nasty microwaves are out to get you...
From what I've read and discussed with my implanted friend, casual contact is not (or extremely unlikely) to cause a problem unless a very powerful magnetic field involved hence the point about going to sleep with the magnets resting on your chest... mind you, the only time I dozed off with an iPad, the magnets were on the right of my chest and the cover magnets folded back behind the iPad... my friend with the defib says he's far more concerned about getting hit by a passing meteorite than magnets causing problems, guess you choose your own worries and try to use a little informed common sense.
I do know that if I had a device implanted to keep me alive then I damn sure would pay attention to any instructions/warnings about usage and proceed accordingly - it's called risk management.
I know that ebola is generally lethal but I don't spend time worrying about it but I also know that cars are bigger and harder than me so I pay attention when crossing the road - pay attention to what counts and note anything else that might need a little attention - life's too short... especially with a junk yard car-lifting electromagnet resting on my chest...
