An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) test uses extremely powerful magnetic fields and radio frequency waves to create images of internal organs from the body. These strong magnetic fields can damage the pump and potentially pull it from your body. The infusion set can be left in your body without concern.
Medtronic recommends that you temporarily disconnect your pump before entering the room in which the procedure is to occur.
If you have questions regarding a specific test and how it may affect your pump please call our 24-hour Technical Support line on 01923 205167.
