MRI Information
Extensive testing of the PS Medical® Strata valve was conducted using MRI with a static magnetic field capacity of 3.0 Tesla. Results of the testing indicate that the valve is “MRI Safe." That is, exposure of the valve to MRI will not damage the valve, but may change the valve pressure setting. Therefore, immediately after MRI exposure, the valve pressure setting needs to be checked by your neurosurgeon or attending physician.
The non-metallic design of the PS Medical® Delta® valves, CSF-Flow Control valves, ventricular catheters, and distal catheters ensures non-interference with MRI or CT scans.
