Please note that this Daily Pre-use check list takes
into consideration all possible configurations of the
Fabius MRI. The clinician need only use those
areas that apply to their specific Fabius MRI config-
uration.
All checks must be carried out daily before equip-
ment is used. The person who carries out the
checks must be fully conversant with the Instruc-
tions for Use. Checks marked with a
P must be car-
ried out before each patient use. These pages
should be removed and copied to establish a daily
record of machines checks.
Mark each function when checks have been
satisfactorily completed.
