Pre-MRI Procedure
Warning: EMPTY ALL DRUG SOLUTION FROM BOTH PROMETRA AND PROMETRA II PUMPS PRIOR
TO ENTERING THE MRI ENVIRONMENT. If a patient with a Prometra II Pump requires an
emergent MRI, please see page 13 of these instructions for more details on the potential risks
involved.
Strong magnetic fields, such as those created in MRI scanners, may cause the Inlet and Outlet
valves to open, resulting in the immediate discharge of the contents of the Drug Reservoir and
Catheter into the patient. This could result in drug overdose that could lead to serious patient
injury or death.
The physician must determine if the patient can safely be deprived of medication during the MRI procedure. If
medication is needed then alternative means of drug delivery (such as I.V. administration or analgesic patch)
should be employed.
IF AN MRI PROCEDURE IS NECESSARY, THE PUMP MUST BE EMPTIED of drug solution, not
refilled and the PUMP PROGRAMMED TO 0.0 MG/DAY DRUG FLOW RATE prior to entering the
environment of the MRI.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS PRIOR TO ENTERING THE MRI
ENVIRONMENT.
