It is not safe to expose your pump to the following test:
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 MiniMed 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 the 24-hour pump help line on the back of your pump and one of our Clinical Service Representatives (800 826-2099) will help you.
