MR Conditional
Important alert
- Do not scan: A device implanted in sites other than the approved locations specified by the MRI labeling
- Do not scan: Patients who have any portion of their Confirm Rx™ ICM exposed due to skin erosion.
- Do not scan: Other non-MR Conditional implants, for example abandoned leads.
1Pre-scan checks
- Confirm that the implanted ICM is MR Conditional.
- Location of implanted device: Device implanted completely within the region from the right parasternal line to the left midclavicular line, between the 1st rib to the 6th rib. Implant location can be confirmed by referring to the patient records.

4Monitoring & emergency response
- During the MRI scan, visually and audibly monitor the patient.
5Other information
- Scanning patients who have other MR Conditional implants is acceptable provided all MR Conditional requirements for each implanted device are met.
- Do not bring any external control devices, such as the Merlin™ Patient Care System (PCS) Model 3650 or a mobile device, into the scanner magnet room (Zone IV). These devices are considered MR Unsafe.
- Patients may feel a mild tugging or vibration sensation at the insertion site while in or near the MRI scanner.
- The presence of this device may produce an image artifact. Some manipulation of scan parameters may be required to compensate for the artifact.
These conditions are based on the source document shown below (revision and date). Before scanning, verify the patient's complete system (device, leads, and any other implants) against the latest manufacturer labeling.
