2. Confirming MRI Scanner Settings and Configuration
Ensure that the MRI scanner equipment meets the "MRI Conditions of Use" on page 1-4. Refer to
Table 2–2 Valid Combinations of Pulse Generators and Leads to Use in 1.5 T and 3 T
Environments on page 2-13 for component combinations.
Valid Combinations of Pulse Generators and Leads to Use in 1.5 T and 3 T Environments

• Refer to Table 1–2 System Configuration for 1.5 T on page 1-3 and Table 1–3 System
Configuration for 3 T on page 1-3 for a complete list of the model numbers of MR Conditional
Pacing System components.
• Refer to "MRI Conditions of Use" on page 1-4 for the entire set of MRI Conditions of Use.
WARNING: Only the combination of INGEVITY MRI lead(s) with an ESSENTIO MRI,
PROPONENT MRI, or ACCOLADE MRI pulse generator is valid to use with either 1.5 T or 3 T
scanners. All other allowable combinations of Boston Scientific MR Conditional system
components must use only 1.5 T scanners.
NOTE: 3 T MRI scanners should be operated in Circularly Polarized mode or Dual Channel
Multi-Transmission mode since ImageReady Pacing Systems have been evaluated against 3 T
MRI scanners during Circularly Polarized and Dual Channel Multi-Transmission RF operation
modes. Multi-Transmission RF operation with greater than two transmit channels has not been
evaluated.
3. Preparing the Patient for the Scan
The patient must not have an elevated temperature or compromised thermoregulation. Patient
position within the bore must be prone or supine, and the appropriate monitoring system must be
put in place (pulse oximetry and/or ECG). See "MRI Conditions of Use" on page 1-4.
If the MRI Protection Mode Time-out feature is being used, be sure to note the time at which the
pulse generator is scheduled to exit MRI Protection Mode. Refer to Figure 2–8 Sample settings
report and checklist printout on page 2-12.
