if it’s anything like the security tag removers you’re “safe” to touch it but it is terrifying

Based purely off the image I’d say:
1- Hell no not touching either
2- Probably roughly similar strength.

Seems like a cochlear implant magnet

Yeah they have a magnet implant component used to couple / mount the device to the head. What cracks me up is the note at the end;
I seriously doubt many MR techs would run a procedure with any magnet installed, and clearly this note is showing patients with this implant are having a tough time getting procedures done.

That black squishy ferrite doped polymer disc between the device and the magnet is part of the reason why tissue necrosis isn’t as bad a problem with these vs people wanting to “stick” stuff to their skin with smaller biohacking magnets. The other reason is size… distributing force across a much wider area reduces absolute force at any given point across the surface.
