MRI Guidelines for InterStim Therapy neurostimulation systems These instructions apply only to Medtronic InterStim Therapy neurostimulation systems for approved indications listed as eligible for an MRI head scan Prior to an MRI head scan, determine whether the patient has multiple active medical device implants (such as deep brain stimulation systems, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and others)
MRI guidelines for Medtronic neurostimulation systems for chronic pain For Medtronic neurostimulation systems with SureScan MRI Technology, external control devices (ie, a clinician programmer or a patient control device) are used to determine MRI scan-type eligibility and are used to place the neurostimulation system in MRI conditionally safe (MRI-CS) mode (also referred to as "MRI mode"), which turns stimulation
MRI guidelines for Medtronic deep brain stimulation systems External control devices For Medtronic DBS systems, an external control device (ie, a clinician programmer) may be used to confirm the neurostimulator model number, evaluate system integrity, and turn off therapy or change programming settings prior to an MRI scan
MRI guidelines for Medtronic implantable infusion systems For information about how other forms of electromagnetic interference can affect the pump, see the Implantable infusion systems information for prescribers manual Contact a Medtronic representative if you have any questions about the information in this manual In the US, contact Medtronic Technical Services at 1-800-707-0933

New Technologies and Applications in Sacral Neuromodulation: An Update The clinical effectiveness of this system appears to be similar to that of the current recharge-free InterStimTM II device (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) [1] Newer InterStim devices have been submitted for CE mark and FDA approval [2] in order to improve patient preference and provide full-body MRI safety for both 1 5 and 3 Tesla with the latter
MR Safety: Spinal Cord Stimulators - Questions and Answers in MRI MR safety: spinal cord stimulatorsAlthough more recent SCS systems are designed to be MR Conditional, a substantial number of MR Unsafe legacy devices may still be encountered in clinical practice A partial list includes: the Boston Scientific Precision® and Precision Novi®; the Medtronic X-trel®, I-trel ®, and early Matrix® systems; the Abbott St Jude Eon®, Genesis®, Axium®, and
MR Safety: Respiratory Stimulators - Questions and Answers in MRI MR Safety: Respiratory StimulatorsThe Inspire ® (Inspire Medical) is the most widely used UAS device having both FDA and CE Mark approval A titanium-encased, battery-powered neurostimulator is subcutaneously implanted in the upper chest Respiration is monitored by an electrode embedded in the intercostal muscles, with electrical pulses transmitted to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve during
Guidance for Adjusting MRI scan Sequence SAR and B1+rms Values This document is intended to provide general guidance on how to adjust MRI scan protocols in accordance with the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and B1+rms limits identified in the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems The scan protocol adjustments described in this document should only be used by qualified MRI scanner operators The scanner operator and or radiologist
