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