Abstract
A medical system for performing a therapeutic function on a patient comprises an implantable medical device having a switching function to switch from a normal operating mode to an MRI compatible operating mode in the presence of an MRI device, and an external device for programming at least one setting of the implantable medical device. The external device is configured, based on a programming event relating to said at least one setting, to generate a notification prompting a user to confirm a continuing MRI compatibility of said MRI compatible operating mode after the programming event and/or to amend said at least one setting for achieving MRI compatibility.
Claims13
A medical system, the system comprising:
- an implantable medical device having a switching function to switch from a normal operating mode to an MRI compatible operating mode in the presence of an MRI device;
- and an external device for programming at least one setting of the implantable medical device;
- wherein the external device is configured, based on a programming event relating to said at least one setting, to generate a notification prompting a user to confirm a continuing MRI compatibility of said MRI compatible operating mode after the programming event and/or to amend said at least one setting for achieving MRI compatibility.
An external device-operative in a medical system, the external device being configured to program at least one setting of an implantable medical device which has a switching function to switch from a normal operating mode to an MRI compatible operating mode in the presence of an MRI device;
- wherein the external device is configured, based on a programming event relating to said at least one setting, to generate a notification prompting a user to confirm a continuing MRI compatibility of said MRI compatible operating mode after the programming event and/or to amend said at least one setting for achieving MRI compatibility.
A method for operating a medical system, comprising:
- programming at least one setting of an implantable medical device using an external device, the implantable medical device having a switching function to switch from a normal operating mode to an MRI compatible operating mode in the presence of an MRI device;
- wherein generating, using the external device and based on a programming event relating to said at least one setting, a notification prompting a user to confirm a continuing MRI compatibility of said MRI compatible operating mode after the programming event and/or to amend said at least one setting for achieving MRI compatibility.
