Pillcam contraindicated in stroke alert

I have been asked twice this week regarding the safety and efficacy of the PillCam used to evaluate the esophagus and/or the intestinal track. These devices are highly contraindicated for any MRI procedure. Being within the vicinity of an MR system alters the operation, patient are at risk for RF burns if put inside an MR system.  I have included information from the manufacturers website (contraindications in bold and underlined). I will be forwarding this information to all the techs corporately as well.
