Information was received from a healthcare provider regarding a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary/bowel dysfunction and urge incontinence.It was reported that caller is from mri center where patient (pt) was to have a thoracic spine scan today.They were using built-in "d stream spinal coil built into the table (receive only) and transmitting from main body coil and a phillips machine.Mri center staff viewed pt putting their ins into mri mode and pt was showing as being full body mri eligible per caller.They put pt into the mri and did first survey scan which was about 27 seconds long.Pt later said they felt warmth during this time but didn't say anything.They started the 2nd survey scan and stopped it a little over halfway from being done (it would have also been 27 seconds long if completed) because pt had started moving around and reaching back to their right hip and then pt reported their ins pocket area feeling very warm.They stopped scanning and pulled pt out of the machine. pt mentioned to caller that pt had prior history of putting their device into mri mode and "bouncing out" of mri mode without doing anything. the radiologist palpated the pocket area and this felt tender and painful to the pt.Pt feels like their ins changed position so that it's not in the usual pocket area and tight in the pocket but now pt could move the ins around under the skin in their hip area.Pt tried connecting to their ins using handset but wasn't able to.There was no error from what caller understood from pt, just that they were unable to connect.They were using 1.5t machine and using a program that downloads the mri "fda" settings to the mri machine.Caller looked at the summary of the scan settings and shared the following maximums that were programmed into the machine: spatial gradient 20 t/m, max slew rate <(> <<)>200t/m/s, normal operating mode, sar level of <(><<)>2.0 w/kg.Managing hcp and caller spoke with p.A.Who works with hcp and they instructed pt to go home and then they were going to make a follow up appointment to see pt.Caller was told by pt that pt was now concerned because with their stimulation off, they would be having to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes.Pt having some type of surgical procedure in about 2 weeks (reason for mri).Caller doesn't know if surgery is related to ins system.
