All parts which contain metals and which are MR Compatible are marked "/MRI" on their
packaging and where this feature is required for additional parts and accessories /MRI should be
added as a suffix to the order code of each part ordered (See Section 7).
WARNING:
The normal routine of checking the ventilator system for magnetic attraction should
be followed whenever the equipment is taken into an MR environment to ensure
that magnetic parts have not been added to the system inadvertently. It is also
recommended that every time a patient is positioned in the magnetic field the
manometer is checked to confirm unchanged ventilation and the high pressure
relief/alarm system is checked by a temporary circuit disconnection and occlusion of
the ventilator outlet connector.
