Had a patient in clinic today with a Boston spectra wavewriter implanted in 2019.

Trying to figure out if it is MRI conditional for the spine.

Our Boston rep is someone who I always “trust but verify”

Appreciate your insights

Why not have the patient call the number on their card?

I think the Spectra was MR conditional for head only. They had those new leads launch that let them do full body, but that was with their Montage battery, and then the newest was briefly head only for a while or something?

This is a task best left to the MRI/radiology technician and the device card. You can help by letting them know which model leads, which model battery, any accessories, and where the leads are placed.
