MRI-CS FULL BODY SCAN ELIGIBLE
Placing the device in MRI-CS mode turns stimulation off. The
text and/or all of the symbols above denote full-body MRI scan
eligibility and indicate that the implanted system is in MRI-CS
mode.
#
Caution: Before conducting the MRI scan, confirm that the
patient's implanted neurostimulation system is off. Leaving
stimulation on during the scan could increase the potential
for uncomfortable, unintended stimulation.
If you are not certain if stimulation is off, ask the patient if it is
off.
Fever
w
Warning: Do not perform an MRI scan if the patient's body
temperature is above 38 °C (100 °F). Elevated body
temperature in conjunction with tissue heating caused by
an MRI scan increases the risk of excessive tissue heating,
which could cause tissue damage.
No blankets
w
Warning: Do not cover the patient with blankets or heated
blankets. Blankets raise the patient's body temperature and
increase the risk of tissue heating, which could cause tissue
damage.
#
Caution: Do not conduct MRI scans on patients who weigh
less than 40 kg (88 lbs). Scans for patients who weigh less
than 40 kg (88 lbs) have not been tested and could cause
excessive heating, resulting in tissue damage.
If possible, do not sedate the patient so that the patient can
provide feedback of any problems during the examination.
