 WARNING
Electronic and/or electrically conductive implants and
magnetizable inclusions in static and low-frequency magnetic
fields and RF fields!
Risk of patient death/patient injury
◆ Ask the patient about implants and inclusions.
◆ Do not perform MR examinations on patients with electronic
or electrically conductive implants and magnetizable
inclusions.
◆ Ensure that patients wearing such implants and/or inclusions
remain outside the exclusion zone (0.5 mT line).
Exceptions: Certain implantable medical devices have been cleared,
approved and/or licensed by the Competent Governmental
Authorities and/or labeled by the device manufacturer as "MR
Conditional". For such implantable medical devices, the previously
mentioned list of general contraindications and the warning may not
be applicable in its entirety.
It is the responsibility of the device manufacturer to declare an
implantable medical device as MR Conditional if appropriate and to
define the conditions (constraints) for safe MR scanning. The MR
operator must be aware of any such conditions for MR scanning. It is
the obligation of the MR operator to assure that these conditions are
strictly adhered to. To obtain these specific conditions the MR
operator may refer to the labeling of the implantable medical device
or contact the device manufacturer. Siemens MR does not assume
responsibility or liability for the operation of the MR system with any
implantable medical device. Especially, Siemens MR is not responsible
for controlling technical parameters of the MR system other than
those defined by the normal operating mode, the first level controlled
operating mode and the data provided in the system owner manual,
such as spatial gradient field plots.
