Operator Profile
Personnel Qualifications and Training
Safe and efficient use of O-scan requires patient examinations to be
supervised and performed by qualified personnel, who are licensed and
certified by appropriate local, state, or federal authorities.
Esaote provides on-site training, by Esaote representatives, or by
authorized third-party personnel, following system installation or major
system modifications.
Certain hazards are inherent in the use of MRI equipment. To safeguard
patients and others, the User must understand and be familiar with safety
and emergency procedures, with the operating instructions and user
interface, and with preventive maintenance procedures.
It is important that the user be able to recognize hazards or potential
hazards and take adequate precautions to protect the patient and others.
Although no adverse biological effects have been demonstrated to date at
the levels of magnetic and RF field intensity and exposure times used by

Evaluation of the potential hazards and the risk/benefits considerations
associated with O-scan examinations is the responsibility of the
