Penumbra Smart Coil, Embolization Coil
Penumbra Inc.
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.
