Table 4. Possible causes and solutions for suboptimal RF communication
Possible Causes
People or objects interfere with
the communication between the
Merlin Antenna and the device.
The Merlin Antenna is too far
away from the device.
Someone is holding the Merlin
Antenna.
Other products in the vicinity are
causing electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
The Merlin Antenna cable is
wound around the Merlin
Antenna.
CT Scans
Due to their increased power levels and long exposure times, CT Scans have the remote possibility of
interfering with implanted devices. The potential interference is transient and occurs only when the X‑ray
signal is present. Continuous exposure may cause a temporary sensor rate increase. In addition, there is a
Solutions
Make sure that the space between the Merlin Antenna and the device is free
from interfering objects/people.
Move the Merlin Antenna closer to the device.
Place the Merlin Antenna on a flat surface. Do not hold the Merlin Antenna.
Power off or remove equipment that could cause EMI.
Make sure the Merlin Antenna cable is not wound around the Merlin
Antenna.

Do you have a question about the Endurity Core and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My mother has model number PM2272 cardiac pacemaker. Can she have MRI Done. She has been in hospital for 3 days. Doctors want do a MRI until they hear from manufactory. Makes no since. They have her card info.
@Tori Garvin, of couse 1.5T and 3T
The Abbott Endurity Core PM2272 is not listed among the MR Conditional devices in the provided context. Before performing an MRI scan on a patient with this pacemaker, it is necessary to contact Abbott Medical or consult regulatory authorities to determine if it is approved for MRI use.

@Mr. Anderson PM2272 isn't Endurity Core, It's Assurity MRI; of couse 1.5T and 3T MRI Scan
Abbott pacemaker PM2272, is it safe for Hyperbaric oxygen therapy? If so, at what ATA- 2 or 2.5 safe? Please email the information to me if possible. Thank you!
can batteries be replaced in your model no. PM2272 pacemaker
