Preventing residue on MR coil

Cover the patient contact surfaces of the coil and accessories with a sheet or MR compatible table paper,
whenever possible before positioning the patient. Be aware that the use of sheets or paper without
actual cleaning and disinfection does not prevent the spread of infectious agents.
Infectious residue warnings
•
Risk of cross-infection.
•
Always clean and disinfect the bore, tabletop, mattresses, positioning aids, coils, physiology sensors
and cables after each examination of (injured or infectious) patients where contamination may have
occurred.
•
Use proper personal protection and precautions when removing blood or residual contrast media.

Cleaning and disinfection frequency

Cleaning and disinfection must occur as soon as possible after each patient; avoid delays.
