A MR ConditionalNon-clinical testing has demonstrated that the Edwards SAPIEN THV (implant) is MR Conditional.It can be scanned safely under the following conditions: LOW* Static magnetic field of 1.5Tesla (I) or 3.0 Testa.* Spatial gradient field of 2500 Gauss/cm or less.* Maximum whole-body-averaged specific absorption rate (WB-SAR of2 W/kg for 15 minutes of scanning.* Normal mode operation, as defined in IEC 60601-2-33 Ed. 3.0, of the MR system.In non-clinical testing and analysis, the device was determined to produce a temperature rise of lessthan 1.1 C above background for a W8-SAR of 2W/kg for 15 minutes of MR scanning in 1.5 T and3.0 T cylindrical bore whole body MR systems.The image artifact extended as far as 15 mm from the device for spin echo images and 40mm forgradient images when scanned in non-clinical testing in a 3 T GE Signa HDx MR system.The implant has not been evaluated in MR systems other than 1.5 or 3.0 T.
