It was reported that the patient with this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) device exhibited high out of range pacing impedance measurements, measuring greater than 3000 ohms on right atrial (ra) channel.The health care professional (hcp) had called in asking for assistance for magnetic resonance imaging (mri) scan.Technical services (ts) confirmed that this system was mri compatible, however the cardiology ordered the mri scan which would be off label due to ra impedances been out of range.The hcp will be re-interrogating and follow-up post mri.This device remains in service.No adverse patient effects were reported.
