MRI Scan Procedure Protocol
1. Programming the Pulse Generator for a Scan
2-11
To exit MRI Protection Mode manually, select the Cancel MRI Protection button (see Manual Exit
from MRI Protection Mode in "After the Scan" on page 2-14). If necessary, STAT PACE or
DIVERT THERAPY can also be used to exit MRI Protection Mode and return the pulse generator
to previously programmed settings (DIVERT THERAPY) or initiate STAT PACE pacing
parameters (see the pulse generator Reference Guide for more information about STAT PACE).
Once MRI Protection Mode has successfully been programmed, print a copy of the MRI
Protection Settings Report by selecting the Print Settings button on the MRI Protection Mode
Programmed screen. The report lists the settings in operation during MRI Protection Mode. If the
Time-out feature is used, the report includes the time and date when MRI Protection Mode will
expire, returning the pulse generator to the pre-MRI Protection Mode settings.
The printed report can be placed in the patient's file and used by radiology personnel, for
example, to confirm that sufficient time remains to complete the MRI scan. A sample Settings
Report and checklist printout is shown in Figure 2–8 Sample settings report and checklist printout
on page 2-12.
Ensure that the HCPs involved in performing the MRI scan have received the model numbers of
the pulse generator and lead(s) implanted in the patient.
WARNING: When the Time-out parameter is programmed to a value other than Off, the patient
must be out of the scanner before the time programmed elapses. Otherwise, the patient will no
longer meet Conditions of Use ("MRI Conditions of Use" on page 1-4).
