WATCHMAN LAAC Device  

The WATCHMAN Implant is MRI compatible 

Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the WATCHMAN LAAC Device is MR Conditional. A patient with the WATCHMAN device can be scanned safely, immediately after implantation, under the defined conditions by device generation.  
 
Refer to the patient’s implant card to identify their WATCHMAN device generation (i.e. WATCHMAN, WATCHMAN FLX™, WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro).  
 
In cases where the patient's device generation is not known, refer to the MRI safety guidance in the WATCHMAN FLX LAAC Device IFU. If the patient received their implant before 2022, also limit continuous scan duration to 15 minutes per the WATCHMAN LAAC Device IFU. These instructions will ensure the most stringent MRI criteria among the potentially implanted device generations are applied.
 
Full MRI safety information for the WATCHMAN device is available in the Instructions for Use, which can be obtained at IFU-BSCI.com
 
Scanning under different conditions may result in device malfunction, injury and/or death.
