If the wECG module is positioned incorrectly when used within the MR magnet room, the
following factors may cause ECG waveform distortion and numeric inaccuracies:
• Fast magnetic field changes usually found with, but not limited to, scan sequences
using Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) levels above 80 percent.
• Severe vibrations induced by scan sequences using PNS levels above 80 percent.
• The distance from the bore iso-center in the x, y, or z directions.
