Welcome to the Medical Procedure and EMI Warnings, Precautions, and Guidance manual
This manual provides important information for physicians and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with Medtronic implanted cardiac devices, including pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators. The manual addresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provides guidance on how to mitigate its effects on implanted devices.
Types of EMI
The manual explains three principal types of EMI: conducted interference, radiated fields, and static magnetic fields. It also provides information on the risks associated with each type of EMI.
Device Responses to EMI
This chapter describes the potential impact of EMI on implanted pacemakers and ICDs, including inhibition of pacing therapy, suspension of tachyarrhythmia detection, and reversion.
Precautions and Warnings
The manual provides warnings and precautions for medical procedures and equipment that may pose a risk to patients with implanted cardiac devices. It also provides guidance on how to initiate asynchronous pacing and suspend tachyarrhythmia detection and therapies in certain situations.
