ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is intended for use by physicians and other health care professionals (HCPs)
involved in managing patients with an ImageReady MR Conditional Pacing System, as well as
radiologists and other HCPs involved in performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on
such patients.
NOTE: For the purposes of this Technical Guide, MRI is used as a general term and
encompasses all MR-based clinical imaging activities. In addition, information in this guide
applies only to
1
H MRI (Proton MRI) scanners.
Read this manual in its entirety before scanning patients who are implanted with an ImageReady
MR Conditional Pacing System.
This manual contains:
• Information about ImageReady MR Conditional Pacing Systems
• Information about ImageReady Pacing System patients who can and cannot undergo an MRI
scan and the Conditions of Use that must be met in order for an MRI scan to be performed
• Instructions for carrying out an MRI scan on ImageReady Pacing System patients
How to use this manual:
1. Refer to the patient’s records to locate model numbers for all components of the patient’s
implanted system.
2. Refer to "System Configuration for 1.5 T" on page 1-3 and "System Configuration for 3 T" on
page 1-3 to determine if all components of the patient’s implanted system are found within
the tables. If any of the components cannot be found within the tables, the system is not an
ImageReady MR Conditional Pacing System.
NOTE: Multiple Boston Scientific ImageReady MRI Technical Guides are available based
on therapy type, for example, a pacing system versus a defibrillation system. If a particular
pulse generator model is not represented in this manual, refer to the other Boston Scientific
ImageReady MRI Technical Guides. If a particular model is not represented in any Boston
Scientific ImageReady MRI Technical Guide, the patient’s implanted system is not an
ImageReady MR Conditional system.
Refer to the Physician’s Technical Manual, Reference Guide, Leads Manual, Clinician Manual, or
Programmer Operator’s Manual for detailed information about non-MRI aspects of implantation,
features, programming, and use of the components of the Pacing System.
