Hi there @Jordan31. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums! 🙂

I can answer your question. All Fitbit tracker products contain ferromagnetic materials that may be attracted to an MRI. For this reason we recommend Fitbit trackers not to be used in the vicinity of an MRI.

Anything else you might need help with, let me know!

@FerdinandFitbit I wasn't even thinking on that line, my thoughts. 

With the strong varying magnet fields in the MRI and knowing there is a direct connection between magnetism and electricity, this could cause problems with the electronics. 

Theantenna could also act as half pda transformer and possibly overload and destroy circuits. 

The ferromagnetic materials you mention could also possibly get permanently deformed.
