Information about the graft and the materials used: Use of MRI-compatible material: Event recorder

Your event recorder is suitable for an MRI scan.

When an MRI scan is done, a strong magnetic field is used. So, if someone has certain metals in their body, they are not usually permitted to be scanned in the MRI machine.

However, with your event recorder, you can be scanned in the MRI machine because special materials have been used.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
