Patients and physicians should know the limitations, warnings and precautions associated with the StimRouter System and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A patient with an implanted StimRouter lead can be scanned safely, immediately after implantation if they meet the specified conditions. Full MRI information for StimRouter can be found here.

Warnings, Precautions and Restrictions

Warning Symbol

1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla MRI Warning and Precautions

If the entire StimRouter lead is at least 50 cm away from the center of the bore of the MR system and the center of the transmit-RF body coil, the reported, whole-body-averaged (WBA) specific absorption rate (SAR) must not exceed 2 W/kg at 1.5 T/64 MHz or a whole-body-averaged SAR of 2 W/kg at 3T/128 MHz in the normal operating mode of operation for the MR system.

Limit B1+rms and SAR to values shown in Table 3.1 of the StimRouter MRI Guidelines if the entire StimRouter is not at least 50 cm from the center of the MRI bore.
