 WARNING
Physiological displays are not approved to monitor vital
parameters!
Anomalies of the vital parameters may not be recognized or
recognized too late
◆ Never use the physiological displays (either at the system or
at the computer) to monitor the vital parameters of a patient.
◆ Only use suitable patient monitoring systems for monitoring
vital parameters (MR Safe or MR Conditional).
◆ Briefly press the respective button (several times, if necessary) until
you reach the requested setting.
The PERU is used together with ECG and respiratory triggering.
