MR System Preparation
Maintain visual and audio monitoring of the patient throughout the MRI examination. Verify that the
patient is feeling normal and is responsive during and between each individual scan sequence of the
MRI examination. Discontinue the MRI immediately if the patient becomes unresponsive to questions or
experiences any adverse effects listed in the Safety Information Section of this manual.
Post-MRI Examination Review
1. Verify that the patient has not experienced any adverse effects as a result of the MRI.
The potential adverse effects are listed in the Safety Information Section of this manual.
Contact Boston Scientific if the patient has experienced any adverse effects.
2. Instruct the patient to use the Remote Control (outside of the scanner room) to turn on the
neurostimulator. Verify that the neurostimulator is functional. If the patient's Remote Control
cannot turn stimulation back on, or displays any error messages, instruct the patient to contact
the clinician managing the patient's neurostimulator system.
Enabling MRI Mode
When the Remote Control is linked to a Boston Scientific MR Conditional Stimulator, the Enter MRI Mode
icon will appear on the System Settings screen. The Remote Control must be used to enable MRI Mode on
