Checking for MRI Readiness
3
4
If the patient has a patient Remote Control (manufactured
before May 1st, 2020) that does not have the MRI Readiness
check capability, whole-body MRI readiness check can be
2
performed using the Clinician Programmer. The following
instructions summarize how to check the implanted device for
whole-body MRI readiness.
Connect to the patient's Neurostimulator, which will
automatically perform an impedance measurement. Review the
"Ω" symbols on the patient device screen.
1
Check the battery status ( 3 ) of the Neurostimulator to
make sure the battery level is above 30%. If not, charge the
Neurostimulator until the battery level is at least 30%.
Turn stimulation off ( 4 ) before MRI scanning
• If open ( 1 ) or short ( 2 ) circuits are detected, the "Ω"
symbol next to that electrode will be red, indicating that
the integrity of the patient's SNM system is compromised.
This patient is NOT eligible for MRI whole body scan.
• If no open or short circuits are detected, the SNM system
is ready for MRI whole body scan.
• If the clinician programmer cannot communicate with the
device, MRI scan eligibility cannot be determined. This
patient is NOT eligible for MRI whole-body scan.
