RADIOLOGY CHECKLIST FOR THE IMAGEREADY PACING SYSTEM
scanners. All other allowable combinations of Boston Scientific MR Conditional system
components must use only 1.5 T scanners.
WARNING: The Programmer/Recorder/Monitor (PRM) is MR Unsafe and must remain outside
the MRI site Zone III (and higher) as defined by the American College of Radiology Guidance
Document for Safe MR Practices
1
. Under no circumstances should the PRM be brought into the
MRI scanner room, the control room, or the MRI site Zone III or IV areas.
CAUTION: The presence of the implanted Pacing System may cause MRI image artifacts (see
"3. Preparing the Patient for the Scan" on page 2-13).
NOTE: All normal risks associated with an MRI procedure apply to MRI scans with the MR
Conditional Pacing System. Consult MRI scanner documentation for a complete list of risks
associated with MRI scanning.
NOTE: Other implanted devices or patient conditions may cause a patient to be ineligible for an
MRI scan, independent of the status of the patient’s ImageReady MR Conditional Pacing
System.
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.
