Abstract

An adaptation probe for insertion into implanted electrode devices of active medical implants to enable them for use in high-frequency magnetic alternating fields of MRI systems comprises an elongated, flexible probe body, and at least one electrical assembly, which has one or more electrical components connected to an interface, in the probe body, and which can be electrically connected to a supply lead of the electrode device such that the electrically properties of the electrode device can be adapted, in particular the frequency-dependent resistance, impedance, capacitance, or inductance thereof.
