Instructions for Safe Use
☛
Using the positioner for dynamic studies of the hand and wrist. See
chapter 6 paragraph “Hand/wrist positioner” in this document.
W a r n i n g
To avoid possible misinterpretation of images, it is the User's
responsibility to verify that the anatomy to be examined is correctly
positioned in the center of homogeneity region of the magnet, by
using the Scout sequence, and observing the initial scans.
W a r n i n g
Because of displayed image constraints, O-scan is not recommended
for use in evaluation of diffuse pathologies that may extend beyond
the homogeneity region.
Users are advised to conclusively determine that tumors or other
diffuse pathologies are entirely within the homogeneity region, before
attempting to assess or diagnose them.
It may be not possible to assess or diagnose pathologies that extend
beyond the homogeneity region. The size of the pathology may not be
known and important diagnostic structures may not be visible.
W a r n i n g
The User should take care to avoid compression of the nerve
structures in the forearm by the hand-wrist positioner.
Nerve compression may cause temporary or permanent impairment of
the arm.
To avoid compression, always use cushion no. 2 supplied.
