Implantable medical device comprising magnetic field detector

摘要

An implantable medical device comprises an electronic control unit and a magnetic resonance imaging magnetic field detector that is connected to said control unit. The magnetic resonance imaging magnetic field detector is adapted to generate a signal being characteristic for a magnetic field as used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the control unit is adapted to positively recognize a presence of a magnetic field as used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to cause the implantable medical device to enter an MRI-safe mode of operation.
