Remote programming of cardiac implantable electronic devices  

“The MRI technician started the session by contacting an off-site remote operator and placing a programmer wand from the 2090 Medtronic programmer over the CIED [cardiovascular implantable electronic devices]. The remote operator logged into a remote access software and provided a unique access code to the MRI technician. After entering the access code into the programmer, the remote operator was able to program the device as needed. We conducted a periodic audit of the first 209 patients who underwent RP of CIEDs for MRI. Outcomes analyzed were successful completion of RP sessions and time saved per scan.”     MORE
