Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active need to be taken off during an MRI or health checkup?

It is essential to remove the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active before undergoing an MRI or any other health checkup involving strong magnetic fields. The band’s charging system uses magnets, and exposure to a strong magnetic field can cause various issues.
For your reference, the main reasons are as follows:
1. The band uses a magnetic charging system. During an MRI, a powerful magnetic field is generated, which can interfere with the magnet in the band, affecting its functionality;
2. A strong magnetic field can even reverse the magnetic poles in the band’s magnet, rendering the charging cable unable to attach to the band and preventing it from charging;
3. In severe cases, exposure to a strong magnetic field can damage the internal components of the band, including the screen, potentially causing issues like a black screen or malfunctioning.
