CARDIOVASCULAR
Our CardioMEMS™ HF System and many of our pacemakers, ICDs, ICMs, CRT-Ds, CRT-Ps, heart valves, occluders and annuloplasty rings are MR Conditional.
Our manuals contain the latest instructions and information for cardiac physicians, radiologists and MR technologists. We recommend that you download and review the most current version any time a patient with an Abbott product needs an MRI.
Following is some high-level information about preparing for and administering an MRI with patients with a pacemaker, ICD, CRT-D or CRT-P. Refer to the manuals for CardioMEMS HF System or MR Conditional ICMs for details about MRIs with those devices.
To look up your patient’s system, use the Product Search tool to determine whether your patient’s device and leads are safe for an MRI.
Based on the country you select, you can choose the device and lead combination (if applicable) to get scan parameters. If a device is not shown in the list, it is not MR Conditional. Alternatively, you can also use the latest MRI Manuals to determine scan parameters.
Download the MRI Ready Systems Manual to review a list of adverse conditions and effects.
CAUTION: Do not bring any external control devices, such as the Merlin™ Patient Care System (PCS) Model 3650 or SJM MRI Activator™ handheld device Model EX4000, into the scanner magnet room (Zone IV). These devices are considered MR Unsafe.
