List of Warnings and Cautions
All the cautions listed below are also appropriately placed throughout this Installation Guide.
WARNING - The FIRMM device is MRI Unsafe. The FIRMM device should only be
installed and operated from within the MRI control room (MR safety zone III) and
outside the 5-gauss field of the MRI scanner.
WARNING - Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should
be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, the
FIRMM system and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are
operating normally.
WARNING - Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or
provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased
electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment
and result in improper operation.
WARNING - Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
inches) to any part of the FIRMM system including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could
result.
CAUTION - Charge the tablet only using the power cord provided with the system.
CAUTION - It is important the power outlet provide a proper safety ground.
CAUTION - If your Siemens MRI installation is integrated with other research
applications which use the real time image transfer mechanism, please contact Nous
Imaging technical support at +1-844-NOUSIMG (+1-844-668-7464) for additional
guidance before proceeding with the installation.
