Checklist before MRI scanning
This checklist will help to ensure the safe application of an MR scan on
patients with a BIOTRONIK device system that has been labeled MR
Conditional.
*
We recommend checking the boxes off while using this checklist to
ensure that an MR Conditional scan with BIOTRONIK ProMRI
®
systems
is permissible. Please check to see whether the patient’s ProMRI
®
device-lead combination is approved for a full body MR scan.
(See charts on p. 10.)
