YY/T 1935-2024 Requirements and test methods for safety of implantable pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators exposed to magnetic resonance imaging
YY/T 1935-2024 Requirements and test methods for safety of implantable pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators exposed to magnetic resonance imaging
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements for implantable pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators operating under the stimulation of whole-body coils in 1.5 T and 3.0 T cylindrical (round or elliptical cross-section) scanning bore whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, and describes the corresponding testing methods.
This document applies to implantable pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators that meet the following conditions:
—— Systems that do not use sensing functions or are programmed to not use sensing functions during MRI scanning;
—— Systems that disable high-voltage therapy during MRI scanning;
—— Devices implanted in the patient's chest area.
This document does not apply to the non-implanted parts of active implantable medical devices.
Note 1: Subcutaneous ICD systems, leadless pacemakers, and implantable electrocardiograph recorders are not within the scope of this document, but the requirements and testing methods of this document can be used as a reference.
Note 2: The safety requirements for MRI equipment are specified in IEC 60601-2-33.
Note 3: The principle explanations of the provisions of this document are provided in Appendix A.
