3.9  Phantom Fluids 
3.9.1  Handling of Measurement Phantoms 
Always  handle  measurement  phantoms  with  great  care.  Under  normal  operating 
conditions, no risk to the operator arises from the usage of Bruker phantoms. Although all 
phantoms  were  designed  under  the  aspect  of  harmless  chemical  composition,  a  small 
residual  risk  to  the  operator  cannot  be  avoided  especially  with  leaking  or  broken 
phantoms. 
 
Risk of personal injury. 
  Handle phantoms with great care. Do not drop the phantom and store it safely 
after use. Do not use leaking phantoms.
  Avoid contact of skin or eyes with phantom fluids.
  Do not swallow phantom fluids.
  When handling the phantom, do not eat, drink or smoke.  
  In case of fire inform the fire department about the contents of the phantoms. 
  Do not use extreme high RF  pulse  amplitudes too long  or  with an extreme 
short repetition time, otherwise the phantom might get hot. 
 
The filling solution is odorless and not combustible, however, always handle and store 
the phantom with great care. 
  In case of a large air bubble refill the phantom with the original solution.
