Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Definition: An MRI is a type of medical imaging that uses magnetic fields to create an internal view of the body.​

If you have an Inspire Model 3028, you are eligible for MRI scans provided specific conditions are followed. ​

If you have an Inspire Model 3024, you are not eligible for MRI scans.​

To find out what type of Inspire Model you have, please contact your doctor or look at your Patient ID card. There is a YELLOW MR TRIANGLE on the back of the Patient ID Card if you have the Inspire Model 3028. If so, you are eligible for MRI provided specific scan conditions are followed. ​

If the back of your Patient ID Card does not have the YELLOW MR TRIANGLE, you have the Inspire Model 3024 and are not eligible for MRI scans. It is important to note that all Inspire patients are eligible to have CT scans, X-Rays and ultrasound images taken anywhere in the body.​

The fine-tune sleep study is done when you and your doctor decide you are ready. Typically, this is a few months after Inspire is turned on.

If you feel comfortable, go up one step every few nights by pressing (+). If the new level is uncomfortable, step down one step by pressing (-). Once you find a step that gives you comfortable, restful sleep, stay there. You do not need to step up to the top level if you do not feel comfortable doing so. Most patients go up at least 5 steps in the first four to six weeks.

The stimulation from Inspire therapy may feel less strong as time goes on. This is completely normal and is a part of the acclimatization process. Remember, you can always verify if stimulation is on by checking your Inspire Sleep Remote. If you have concerns, contact your Inspire doctor’s office.

To get a printout of your compliance to Inspire, schedule an appointment with your Inspire doctor. Be sure to bring your Inspire Sleep Remote, as it records your nightly usage of the device. Your doctor will download the data and provide you with a printout that shows your compliance.
