Exposure to Radiation or
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
CAUTIONS
1 The pump SHOULD NOT BE DIRECTLY
IRRADIATED by therapeutic levels of ionizing
radiation because of the risk of permanent
damage to the pump’s electronic circuitry.
The best procedure to follow is to remove the
pump from the patient during therapeutic
radiation sessions or diagnostic levels of
radiographic and fluoroscopic radiation. If
the pump must remain in the vicinity during
a diagnostic or therapy session, it should be
shielded, and its ability to function properly
should be confirmed following treatment.
2 Magnetic fields produced by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) equipment may
adversely affect the operation of the pump.
Remove the pump from the patient during MRI
procedures and keep it at a safe distance from
magnetic energy.
