General Safety Instructions
Magnetic resonance
imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated due to the high frequency
fields and the associated magnetic flux density: damage or destruction of the
device system by strong magnetic interaction and damage to the patient by exces-
sive warming of the body tissue in the area surrounding the device system.
•
Under certain conditions one can perform special measures with magnetic res-
onance imaging to protect the patient and device.
