Using the patient programmer to
turn off therapy
If you brought your patient programmer to the
MRI appointment, you can turn off therapy
before your MRI scan and outside of the MRI
scanner (magnet) room.
For instructions on turning off therapy, go to
"Turning your therapy on or off" on page 46.
During the MRI scan, keep therapy off.
Caution: Do not turn therapy back on
before your MRI scan. Leaving therapy on
during the scan could increase the
potential for unintended stimulation.
After the MRI scan and outside of the MRI
scanner (magnet) room, you can turn therapy
back on using your patient programmer or
you can return to the clinician managing your
neurostimulation system to have therapy
turned back on (refer to "Turning therapy
back on after the MRI scan" on page 91).
