MRI/Ventilator Hazard Assessment
Warning! Only ZOLL ventilators marked with an "MRI conditional" label should be used in the
MRI environment.
The four main MRI hazard concerns regarding the use of the ZOLL ventilator in an MRI
environment and their remediation are as follows:
Hazard
The static field effects interfere with the
operation of the ventilator.
The ventilator could interfere with the MRI
imaging and introduce image artifacts.
The ventilator, ventilator accessories, and/or cart
could feel magnetic attraction and become a
projectile missile hazard to both operator and the
patient.
The pulse oximeter can heat up in the MRI
environment due to induced current from the
magnetic field and result in possible burning of
the patient and/or the operator.
