Is Medtronic Azure pacemaker MRI compatible?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 11:35 am

Medtronic’s Azure pacemaker MRI is compatible with both traditional MRI scanners and newer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines that use more powerful magnets. This means that the device can be used to image the pacemaker and its surrounding tissue in detail.

However, there are a few caveats to keep in mind. First, the Azure pacemaker MRI may not work with all MRI machines.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the Medtronic Azure pacemaker is not MRI compatible. If you have this pacemaker, please do not undergo an MRI scan.

Second, because the device is small and delicate, it may not be able to withstand the powerful magnetic fields used in some MRI machines. In these cases, the pacemaker may need to be removed from the machine for imaging.

Overall, the Medtronic Azure pacemaker MRI is a versatile and safe device that can be used to image the pacemaker and its surrounding tissue in detail.
