Your Personal Identification Card
A temporary medical identification card is included
with the product documentation. Your physician will
complete the card and give it to you. Once you or your
physician submit a patient registration form, Abbott
will mail you a permanent identification card. The
registration card does the following things:
Identifies you as having an implanted medical
device
Identifies the model numbers and locations of
your implanted system parts to help determine if
you can safely receive an MRI scan
Helps you pass through security systems like
those in airports
Provides information that allows your physician to
be contacted in an emergency
If you have questions about your card or need to
request a replacement card, contact Customer
Service at 1-800-727-7846 and follow the prompt.
