the magnetic detection device comprises a data cable, a catheter, and a head;
the head is configured to access a portion of the information;
the data cable is disposed inside the catheter; and
the magnetic detection device is delivered inside the prosthesis to access at least the portion of the information.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the information comprises first information and second information;
the first information comprises information corresponding to at least one of the implantable magnetizable fabric or the prosthesis; and
the second information comprises information corresponding to at least one of the subject or a health care provider.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the information comprises at least one of a text or an image;
the information is capable of being encoded as one of binary codes or multi-level codes; and
the implantable magnetizable fabric comprises magnetic beads or magnetic fiber.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the prosthesis comprises a stent graft; and
the graft segment comprises a tube of the stent graft.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
at least one position code is written on the implantable magnetizable fabric, and the at least one position code is detected by a positioning component of the magnetic detection device to position the magnetic detection device relative to the implantable magnetizable fabric.
