I have experienced just the opposite of what you did. I had an MRI with the Medtronics SCS. It has a setting that allows for MRI. When it stopped working, I swapped it out for the Nevro. They kept the Medtronics paddle and used an adapter to connect the Nevro battery to the Medtronics lead. That resulted in my not being able to have an MRI. BTW, the Nevro has never provided any pain mitigation. The Nevro rep, checking things out, said the the paddle had several electrodes burned out. She told me that this should still allow for decent relief, even though the paddle was not in the "sweet spot". Live and learn, hopefully.
Not familiar with the nes AI device coming out in October.

Nevro HFX uses high frequency modulation. You might get a different outcome.
