Yes, BIA may affect your pacemaker.
The smart body analyzer in the Wyze Scale circulates a small electric current through your body. This current calculates some of the scale's measurements, including body fat percentage. Though the current is weak, it can affect your pacemaker.
However, your Wyze Scale can be used even if you wear a pacemaker or are pregnant. If you turn on the Only Measure Weight setting, the signal will be turned off and the scale will not affect your pacemaker.
