Will the SynchroMed pump be affected by anything?
The SynchroMed II pump is designed to allow the safe use of most common household appliances without worry for the implanted patient. These include microwave ovens, televisions, radios, mobile phones, remote controls and video games etc. However, like the MRI procedure, strong magnets can temporarily interrupt the baclofen delivery so strong magnetic fields should be avoided. In addition, the pump is unaffected by hot baths, showers or saunas except in very special circumstances combining a very high body temperature caused by illness, very high external temperatures and prolonged exposure to those temperatures.
