Section 5: Reference<br />
Exposure to Radiation, Ultrasound, Magnetic<br />
Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Use near ECG Equipment<br />
CAUTION:<br />
• Do not expose the pump to therapeutic levels of ionizing radiation<br />
as permanent damage to the pump’s electronic circuitry may<br />
occur. The best procedure to follow is to remove the pump from the<br />
patient during therapeutic radiation sessions. If the pump must remain<br />
in the vicinity during a therapy session, it should be shielded,<br />
and its ability to function properly should be confirmed following<br />
treatment.<br />
• Do not expose the pump directly to ultrasound, as permanent damage<br />
to the pump’s electronic circuitry may occur.<br />
• Do not use the pump in the vicinity of magnetic resonance imaging<br />
(MRI) equipment as magnetic fields may adversely affect the operation<br />
of the pump. Remove the pump from the patient during MRI<br />
procedures and keep it at a safe distance from magnetic energy.<br />
• Do not use the pump near ECG equipment as the pump may interfere<br />
with the operation of the equipment. Monitor ECG equipment<br />
carefully when using this pump.<br />
