MR Conditional — conditions not yet documented here. We have a Conditional label for this device but the specific scan conditions (field strength, SAR / B1+rms, monitoring requirements) aren't in our records yet. Treat as Not determined and let your MRI team confirm before any scan.
Here's what to do next — you're going to be okay:
- Bring your device card (the wallet card from your surgery) to your appointment. Your MRI team can identify any device from it.
- Call the manufacturer's patient line — the number is on your card. They answer device questions every day.
- Tell your imaging center about your device when you book. They screen every patient before every scan — no one will scan you unless it's safe.
Don't schedule an MRI based on this page alone — your MRI team verifies every device.

FDA Recall Alert
Class I — Most SeriousNeurostimulation Systems have a manufacturing non-conformance that may reduce the efficiency of the radiofrequency signals between the Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) and the Therapy Disc, causing the IPG to be non-functional, which causes the device to be non-functional so it will no longer inhibit the transmission of pain signals to the brain.
💡 What this means for you
This is the most serious type of recall. The FDA determined this product could cause serious health consequences. Talk to your doctor about what this means for you.
