An infuser device provides bi-directional fluid transfer via a flexible conduit to a sphincter band, such as a gastric band. Materials are nonferrous and nonmagnetic so as to be magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) safe, being substantially immune to strong magnetic fields and not introducing an electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMIC) hazard.1/4 44 88 66 40--. 10 ',- 18 124 12 16 - 222 42 15 ~ 24 0ooo FIG. 1
