MRI MODE

Question 1

What ipg and remote system is MRI mode available on?

Answer 1

WWA

Question 2

What does the system check before entering into MRI Mode? 3 things

Answer 2

Lead impedance
Lead check
Ipg battery level

Question 3

Once MRI mode is enabled, what two things happen?

Answer 3

Stim turns off and IPG pumps high voltage to protect system electronics

Question 4

In order to turn therapy back On after a MRI Scan, what must happen?

Answer 4

We must exit out of MRI mode

Question 5

During the systems checks in MRI mode, what 3 error screens could display?

Answer 5

• Stimulator battery is low
• impedance check detects and anomaly
• there is an error in the stimulator

Question 6

True or false: primary cell IPG’s can still be placed in MRI mode if they are at ERI or EOS.

Answer 6

False

Question 7

T or F: an ipg battery must be fully charged for a patient to undergo MRI because it protects the patient from unwanted stim and it needs to pump high voltage to protect the system.

Answer 7

True

Question 8

What is the active scan time limit for WWA?

Answer 8

30 mins

Question 9

T or F patients with any pre-existing BSCI lead (50 or 70 that have a battery swap to a WWA will maintain full body mri conditionality even if they have adapters, splitters or extensions implanted

Answer 9

FALSE

Question 10

What leads are MRI conditional with WWA system?

Answer 10

ALL 50 & 70 CM PERC AND PADDLE LEADS

Question 11

What must be done before a patient can undergo an MRI with WWA?

Answer 11

IPG fully charged and MRI mode successful enabled

Question 12

T or F: All implanted NEUROMOD devices are MR conditional including competitors?

Answer 12

True

Question 13

T or F: Assuming all conditions have been met, a patient must undergo a scan using B1rms regardless of the Alpha Device they have implanted.

Answer 13

TRUE
