Limitations - Boston Scientific WaveWriter Alpha Manual Del Usuario

Safety Information
No Blankets: 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.
Patient Positioning: Only place the patient in the prone or supine position. Do not position the patient in
other positions, e.g., on his or her side (called the lateral decubitus position) within the MRI bore. Scanning
patients in positions other than prone or supine has not been evaluated and could cause excessive tissue
heating during an MRI scan.
External Devices: External components (External Trial Stimulator and OR Cables, Remote Control and
accessories) are MR Unsafe. They must not be taken into any MR environment such as the MRI Scanner
Room.
Supervision: A person with expert knowledge about MRI must ensure all procedures in this manual are
followed and that the MRI scan parameters during both the pre-scan and the actual MRI examination are
within the recommended settings listed in this manual.
