ICD integration

Date: May 10, 2021

Question:

A patient with ICD must have the device turned off during the MRI study and on back again. In order to do this, the provider (usually APP) from the cardiology team would turn off the device and turn it back on after the MRI. The APP would turn the device back on with settings aligned with previously documented settings.

Does the service fit programming or integration of the device?
