Patient Safety

To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with electronically
•
isolated circuits.
Do not place the unit or external power supply in any position that might cause it to fall on
•
the patient. Do not lift the unit by the power supply cord, ventilator circuit, or pulse
taximeter patient cable.
Never service the ventilator while in use with a patient.
•

Ferromagnetic Equipment

Failure to follow all instructions can result in MRI artifacts, injury to the patient or
•
operator, or malfunction of the device.
You must follow all safety procedures that are in effect for the MRI Environment. Do
•
not use the ventilator in an MRI Environment with greater than 3T magnetic force.
• Danger!
Unapproved device apparatus shall NOT be allowed in the MRI Environment,
•
including:
Ensure proper configuration of the ventilator.
•
1-14
You must secure the unit to a suitable MRI-compatible cart -- ZOLL MRI Roll
•
Stand ( REF 816-0731-01); Optional IV Arm Assembly (
You must place the ventilator behind the 2000 Gauss field line -- approximately 2
•
meters to the bore opening of the MRI magnet.
The ventilator must be attended by a person with no other responsibility than
•
monitoring the device and patient while in the MRI Environment.
You must visually monitor the ventilator for alarms at all times -- during imaging,
•
the alarms may not be audible beyond the area immediately adjacent to the MRI.
Possible Missile Projection.
DO NOT position any person between the bore entrance and an unsecured cart or
•
device.
Lock the wheels when the rolling stand is in place.
•
We recommend that you tether the rolling stand in place when in the MRI
•
Environment.
Place the ventilator and stand in its position before the patient is positioned on the
•
scanner table and advanced into the bore.
Remove the patient from the MRI Environment before removing the ventilator and
•
roll stand.
Pulse Oximeters sensors and cabling.
•
External AC/DC Power Supply.
•
Rolling Cart Breathing Circuit Arm.
•
Active Humidification and associated support apparatus.
•
DO NOT attach the pulse oximeter sensor to the patient and remove it from the
•
device.
The ventilator should run only on battery power in the MRI Environment
•
-- DO NOT use an external AC/DC power supply.
The ventilator's battery should be fully charged before entering the MRI
•
Environment.
Oxygen Supply -- an aluminum, non-magnetic cylinder must provide the oxygen
•
supply.
