Gradient-vibration · Clause 10

Pulsed magnetic field gradients from an MR scanner induce eddy currents on the conductive surfaces of an AIMD. These eddy currents produce a time varying magnetic moment that interacts with the static magnetic field () causing vibration of the conductive surfaces and, subsequently, the device.

The potential for patient harm arises from malfunction of the device, resulting in reduced functionality or lack of therapy.
