transmissions, other than the MRI machine, should not be in close proximity to the 3800 MR
monitoring system or the pulse oximeter oPOD or ECG ePOD.
Connect only those 3880 system compatible items identified are section 1.1.3 and 9.
1.3.4. MRI Use Precautions
Certain components of this device will be affected by the magnetic and radio frequency fields
present in your MRI System. Confer with your MRI physicist and/or Radiology staff to identify
the proper placement and use areas for the monitor and its accessories, as defined on the
monitor or accessory labeling. Failure to properly place the monitor and its accessories in the
Magnet Room (Zone IV) may result in monitor failure, and possible patient or user injury.
Always position the 3880 MRI Monitor at, or outside, the 30,000 Gauss (3.0T) magnetic field of
the MRI system.
When using the 3885-T Remote Tablet always verify proper communication of the 3880 MRI
Monitor with the 3885-T Remote Tablet prior to patient use. Should communication with the
Remote Tablet be interrupted, maintain direct visual and audible contact with the 3880 monitor
unit.
1.3.5. MRI Magnet Room (Zone IV) Placement
The 3880 MRI Monitor may be used in conjunction with an optional remote control. The 3880
MRI Monitor is specially designed not to interfere with MRI operations and may be used inside
the MRI Magnet Room in any location at or outside the 30,000 Gauss (3.0T) Field of the MRI
System.
Always place the 3880 MRI Monitor so that your view of the screen and alarm light will remain
unobstructed during use.
Risk of RF burn. ECG Lead wires which become inadvertently looped during MRI act as
conductive lines for RF induced currents. When lead cables or other cables form a conductive
loop in contact with the patient's tissue, minor to severe burning can result.
The 3885-T Remote Tablet is not for use in Zone IV, though it can be exposed to up to a 15,000
Gauss field.
Avoid when possible and use care when using accessories inside the FOV. If artifact is present
then re-position the oPOD, ePOD or accessories.
Keep cables clear from moving parts. Cables can get pinched and damaged between the MRI
table and / or MRI bore causing a delay in monitoring.
1.3.6. MRI Compatibility
The MRI ECG electrode, and ECG Patient Lead Wires/Cable, are compatible with Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems within the following guidelines:
• MRI systems with static magnetic field strengths up to 3.0 Tesla.
• Usable within the MRI system bore with a Specific Absorption Ratio (SAR) of up to 4.0
W/Kg (whole body average). Use with a higher SAR greatly increases the risk of patient
burns.
• Non-Magnetic materials are used in the construction of these assemblies.
