What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Reveal® Plus

Reveal Plus Insertable Loop Recorder
Two Electrodes

The Reveal® Plus Insertable Loop Recorder (ILR) includes two surface electrodes to continuously monitor a patient's subcutaneous ECG. The device contains no lead wires or large loops of electrically conductive material.

Magnetic and radio frequency (RF) fields produced by MRI may adversely affect the data being stored by the Reveal Plus ILR. Also, since the ILR contains ferromagnetic components, the strong magnetic field of the MRI system may apply a mechanical force on the ILR. The patient may be able to feel this magnetic force on the ILR. While this does not represent a safety hazard, the patient must be made aware of this possibility to avoid undue patient concern.
