MR Conditional Equipment
•
Failure to follow all instructions can result in MRI artifacts, injury to the patient or
user, or malfunction of the device.
•
You must follow all safety procedures that are in effect for the MRI Environment. Do
not use the ventilator in an MRI Environment with greater than 3T magnetic force.
•
You must secure the device to a suitable MRI-compatible cart -- ZOLL MRI Roll
Stand; Optional IV Arm Assembly.
•
You must place the ventilator behind the 2000 Gauss field line.
•
The ventilator must be attended by a person with no other responsibility than
monitoring the device and patient while in the MRI Environment.
•
You must visually monitor the ventilator for alarms at all times -- during imaging,
the alarms may not be audible beyond the area immediately adjacent to the MRI.
•
Danger!
Possible Missile Projection.
•
DO NOT position any person between the bore entrance and an unsecured cart or
device.
•
Lock the wheels when the rolling stand is in place.
•
We recommend that you tether the rolling stand in place when in the MRI
Environment.
•
Place the ventilator and stand in its position
before
the patient is positioned on the
scanner table and advanced into the bore.
•
Remove the patient from the MRI Environment before removing the ventilator and
roll stand.
•
Unapproved device apparatus shall NOT be allowed in the MRI Environment,
including:
•
Pulse Oximeters sensors and cabling.
•
External AC/DC Power Supply.
•
Rolling Cart Breathing Circuit Arm.
•
Active Humidification and associated support apparatus.
•
Ensure proper configuration of the ventilator.
•
DO NOT attach the pulse oximeter sensor to the patient and remove it from the
device.
•
The ventilator should run only on battery power in the MRI Environment
-- DO NOT use an external AC/DC power supply.
•
The ventilator’s battery should be fully charged before entering the MRI
Environment.
•
Oxygen Supply -- an aluminum, non-magnetic cylinder and oxygen hose must
provide the oxygen supply.
•
Ensure proper operation of the ventilator’s breathing system.
•
12 ft patient circuits are available for use with the ventilator -- the additional length
enables a suitable separation between the ventilator and the bore opening.
(Adult/Pediatric Wye Patient Circuit; Pediatric/Infant Wye Patient Circuit).
•
The extended tubing length of a 12 ft patient circuit can result in loss of volume due
to additional tubing compressibility.
-- Set the Tubing Compliance (TC) to OFF and ensure that the patient is
receiving correct tidal volume.
-- Alternatively, calculate the TC as described by the patient circuit’s
Instructions For Use (IFU) and adjust the TC value to ensure that the patient is
receiving the correct tidal volume.
•
DO NOT use the 12 ft circuit with PEEP settings below 5 (5 cm H
2
O).
•
Ensure that the ventilator is able to maintain PEEP -- for patients with short
expiratory times, the additional tubing length of the 12 ft circuit may affect system
behavior.
