Abstract

Problem: An active implant is a medical device that includes a power source and provides diverse therapies to patients. Active implants are a source of risk to patients undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Institutions develop workflows to ensure devices are assessed for MR safety and scanned using acceptable acquisition parameters. Low data integrity can result in incorrect assessments and increased patient risk.

Approach and intervention: The rate of data integrity issues and their causes were not known at our institution. Between March 2020 and April 2023, a survey was distributed for each MR implant case recording the information used to assess MR safety of the implanted device. The leading cause of data integrity loss was incorrect vendor manual for the implant. A list of links to implant vendor manual repositories was added to our workflow in December of 2021 with instructions to always find the most recent version of the device manual.

Outcomes: 749 patient records were reviewed by MR safety experts. Data integrity issues, i.e., a lack of complete and/or correct patient and implant information, occurred in 16% of cases and could impact MR safety (assessment or scanning) in 47% of those cases. A missing or incorrect manual was the leading cause of data integrity loss (78%). The incorrect manual problem initially worsened between October 2021 and March 2022 due to increased surveillance leading to more incorrect manuals being detected. The rate improved by August 2022 and remained high through March of 2023. Reducing the difficulty of finding implant vendor manuals by providing a list of links to vendor manual repositories along with guidance to pull the most recent manual version is an effective strategy to improve data integrity in MR safety workflows.

评估活动性植入物患者磁共振安全性时出现错误数据的频率和影响。
问题:有源植入物是一种医疗设备,包括电源并为患者提供多种治疗。有源植入物对接受磁共振 (MR) 成像的患者来说是一个风险源。医疗机构需要制定工作流程,确保对设备进行磁共振安全性评估,并使用可接受的采集参数进行扫描。数据完整性低会导致评估错误,增加患者风险:我们机构的数据完整性问题发生率及其原因尚不清楚。在 2020 年 3 月至 2023 年 4 月期间,我们对每个磁共振植入病例进行了调查,记录了用于评估植入设备磁共振安全性的信息。数据完整性丢失的主要原因是植入物的供应商手册不正确。2021 年 12 月,我们在工作流程中添加了植入物供应商手册库的链接列表,并指示始终查找最新版本的设备手册:MR 安全专家审查了 749 份患者记录。16%的病例存在数据完整性问题,即缺乏完整和/或正确的患者和植入物信息,47%的病例可能会影响磁共振安全(评估或扫描)。手册缺失或错误是导致数据完整性丢失的主要原因(78%)。在 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 3 月期间,由于加强监控导致发现更多错误手册,错误手册问题最初有所恶化。到 2022 年 8 月,这一比率有所改善,直到 2023 年 3 月仍居高不下。通过提供供应商手册库的链接列表以及调取最新手册版本的指导,降低查找植入物供应商手册的难度,是提高 MR 安全工作流程数据完整性的有效策略。
