Safety Precautions
The following warning and caution notices illustrate the style used in Varian manuals for
safety precaution notices and explain when each type is used:
WARNING:
Warnings
are used when failure to observe instructions or precautions
could result in injury or death to humans or animals, or significant
property damage.
CAUTION:
Cautions
are used when failure to observe instructions could result in
serious damage to equipment or loss of data.
Warning Notices
Observe the following precautions during installation, operation, maintenance, and repair
of the instrument. Failure to comply with these warnings, or with specific warnings
elsewhere in Varian manuals, violates safety standards of design, manufacturing, and
intended use of the instrument. Varian assumes no liability for customer failure to comply
with these precautions.
WARNING:
Persons with implanted or attached medical devices such as
pacemakers and prosthetic parts must remain outside the 5-gauss
perimeter from the centerline of the magnet.
The superconducting magnet system generates strong magnetic fields that can
affect operation of some cardiac pacemakers or harm implanted or attached
devices such as prosthetic parts and metal blood vessel clips and clamps.
Pacemaker wearers should consult the user manual provided by the pacemaker
manufacturer or contact the pacemaker manufacturer to determine the effect on
a specific pacemaker. Pacemaker wearers should also always notify their
physician and discuss the health risks of being in proximity to magnetic fields.
Wearers of metal prosthetics and implants should contact their physician to
determine if a danger exists. Refer to the manuals supplied with the magnet for
the size of a typical 5-gauss stray field. This gauss level should be checked after
the magnet is installed.
WARNING:
Keep metal objects outside the 10-gauss perimeter from the centerline
of the magnet.
The strong magnetic field surrounding the magnet attracts objects containing
steel, iron, or other ferromagnetic materials, which includes most ordinary
tools, electronic equipment, compressed gas cylinders, steel chairs, and steel
carts. Unless restrained, such objects can suddenly fly towards the magnet,
causing possible personal injury and extensive damage to the probe, dewar, and
superconducting solenoid. The greater the mass of the object, the more the
magnet attracts the object. Only nonferromagnetic materials—plastics,
aluminum, wood, nonmagnetic stainless steel, etc.—should be used in the area
around the magnet. If an object is stuck to the magnet surface and cannot easily
be removed by hand, contact Varian service for assistance.
