Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging Safety Information for Zimmer Biomet Implants
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a commonly accepted and widely used diagnostic medical procedure. When MR imaging is performed on an individual that has an orthopaedic implant, magnetically induced forces and torques on the implant may be experienced, as well as radio frequency (RF) induced heating of tissue in the vicinity of the implant. Additionally, image artifacts may be generated.
These potential effects are evaluated for Zimmer Biomet implants, across a range of commercially available MR scanners. Associated scanning guidance resulting from these evaluations to mitigate the risk of adverse effects is available through the Zimmer Biomet Electronic Labeling Services website at labeling.zimmerbiomet.com, on an implant-specific basis.
