MRI Safety information for:
Testing has demonstrated that the St. Jude Medical™MR Conditional SJM Confirm™ ICM is conditionally safe for use in the MRI environment when used according to the instructions in this manual. MR Conditional Contraindications Patients with abandoned cardiac hardware including leads, lead extenders, or lead adaptors are contraindicated for an MRI scan. Patients with non-MR Conditional implantable devices are contraindicated for an MRI scan. Patients with a St. Jude Medical™ SJM Confirm™ ICM that has been implanted for less than 6 weeks are contraindicated for an MRI scan. The 6 week post-implant waiting period allows time for the implant pocket and wound to heal which minimizes the effects of "tugging" on the device caused by magnetic fields.
