2.2.10.1. 1811 ECG Wires and 3881 ePOD
The wireless ECG POD “3881 ePOD” and lead wires are constructed of special material to
reduce the amount of radio frequency (RF) energy that can flow through the components. The
ECG ePOD and lead wires are designed for use in the MRI system bore but should remain
outside of the MRI procedure Field of View (FOV) where possible.
To connect the ECG Lead wires to the ECG ePOD:
1. Locate the 1811 ECG Lead wires (1) and the 3881 ECG ePOD (2)
2. Position the ECG Lead wires with the ECG ePOD so the colors and letters align
3. Firmly insert the ECG Lead wires into the corresponding ECG ePOD receptacle
NOTE: Align the molded arrow on the lead wire with the top side chevron “V” molded in
to the receptacle. (3)
4. Ensure that ECG Lead wires are secure into the ECG ePOD and not loose
5. Verify operation of the MRI cable by connecting it to an ECG simulator or test subject if
one is not available
NOTE
The ECG Leads are intended specifically for MRI use.
! CAUTION
Use only ECG Lead wires specifically designed and approved for use with the IRadimed
ECG ePOD. Refer to section 9 for a complete list of available accessories.
! WARNING
Avoid contact with the MR system bore as this may cause heating of the lead wires or
the patient electrodes.
