Patient Preparation - Therapy Settings For An Mri Scan Appointment - Medtronic 37601 Handbuch

Patient and DBS system information
Complete the patient information section of the MRI Eligibility Report.
1. Enter the patient's name (and date of birth) for identification purposes.
2. In the DBS physician information field, enter appropriate contact information such as
physician name or contact for MRI questions and a phone number.
3. If this is a lead-only system, check the box. Refer to "Lead-only DBS systems" on
page 21 for more information.
4. Use the programmer to confirm the DBS neurostimulator model, serial number, and
implant location. The clinician or patient programmer, patient records, patient ID
cards, or x-ray imaging can be used to confirm DBS system information.
Eligibility determination
Note: MRI scan-type eligibility determines which set of instructions must be used for the
MRI equipment setup, therapy settings, and conditions for the MRI scan.
1. The MRI Eligibility worksheet, programmers, and Table 1 on page 15 may be used
to verify the information about scan-type eligibility entered here.
Note: MRI mode and 3-T full-body MRI scanning can be used only with the Model
B35200 neurostimulator.
2. When eligibility cannot be determined, the report can still be used to create a record
of the reasons why the patient was not eligible for an MRI scan.
3. If available, record the information code, which can be used to troubleshoot scan
eligibility by Medtronic.
Physician signature and report date
While a physician signature may not always be mandatory to retain the report as a record
in a patient chart, the report date provides critical information to the MRI facility.
1. Record the report date. The older the report, the greater the chance that the
following changes could have occurred:
a. The patient had a physical trauma or revision surgery that may have changed
the scan eligibility.
b. The patient's device was turned back on, settings were changed, or it sustained
damage, which may affect patient safety during a scan.
2. Send the completed MRI Eligibility Report to the MRI facility before the patient
receives the scheduled MRI scan.
Note: Advise patients with implanted neurostimulators to bring all their patient ID
cards and a patient control device to the MRI appointment.
