MRI safety management in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices: Utilizing failure mode and effects analysis for risk optimization

Abstract

Despite the risk of exposing CIEDs to the MR environment, patients with MR-conditional CIEDs can be safely scanned with an appropriate multidisciplinary support. We found FMEA an indispensable tool in identifying and minimizing risk with no adverse events recorded since FMEA recommendations were implemented.
