Instructions for Safe Use
Before using the peripheral equipment, the user must ensure electrical
insulation of conductive materials, except for those that must guarantee
electrical contact with the patient (e.g. ECG electrodes). Also the
conductive material of the peripheral equipment should be thermally
insulated if it comes into contact with the patient.
Never use ECG electrodes after the expiry date specified by the
manufacturer.
Projectiles
Ferromagnetic objects (e.g., tools, keys, scissors, hospital equipment,
pens, etc.) are attracted by the magnetic field, and may be forcefully
drawn in the direction of the O-scan gantry.
In the same way, ferromagnetic parts of peripheral equipment located
within the controlled access area may be drawn towards the gantry: for
this reason, only peripheral equipment classed as MR Safe or MR
Conditional may be positioned in the controlled access area.
W a r n i n g
Never use peripheral equipment, including monitoring equipment
and/or RF coils, that has not been specifically tested and approved for
use in MR environments.
Interaction of monitoring equipment (above all regarding ECG
electrodes) and/or RF coils with the O-scan can cause burns or other
injuries to the patient.
If using monitoring equipment (e.g. ECG electrodes) and/or RF coils
declared and marked as MR safe or MR conditional, the relative
instructions for use must be strictly observed, with special regard to
electrode positioning, in order to avoid injuries to the patient.
Any application performed on the patient using auxiliary equipment
(e.g. physiological monitoring) must be carried out under the
exclusive supervision and responsibility of the user.
The user must ensure suitable selection and correct use of monitoring
equipment (e.g. of ECG electrodes), RF coils and/or other devices
located in the vicinity of or above the patient.
