Instructions for Safe Use
☛
parts of the body in contact with the surface of the transmission coil:for
this purpose, use the insulating strap to avoid contact from body part and
the gantry surface
☛
presence of electric cables inside the gantry
☛
presence of garments containing threads or metal components inside
the gantry
☛
presence of damp clothing
☛
presence of metal objects such as watches, coins, keys, etc. inside the
gantry.
☛
use of transdermal plasters containing medical substances, which can
cause burns on the skin under the plaster.
Before positioning the patient inside the gantry, the user must check that
the latter has removed any clothing containing metal fibers or
components, damp clothing, metal objects and/or transdermal plasters.
The user must pay special attention during examinations of sedated or
unconscious patients or patients not sensitive in the anatomical regions to
be examined, who therefore cannot alert the user in the event of
excessive cutaneous heating.
W a r n i n g
Remove any clothing containing metal fibers or components, damp
clothing, metal objects and/or transdermal plasters from the patient.
During knee examinations, place the insulating strap around the thigh
and ensure that there are no direct contact surfaces with the front
gantry frame.
Otherwise place standard cushions between the gantry frame and
thigh.
The calf may also create direct contact surfaces with the rear gantry
frame during knee examinations: in this case place some standard
cushions between the calf and gantry frame.
Similar precautions should be taken in the event of direct contact
between parts of the lower limb and gantry frames during
examinations of other areas of the lower limb.
This type of contact can generate closed conductive loops with the
consequent risk of localized cutaneous heating.
