ExpressionMR400InstructionsforUseMonitoringSPO26‐7
If the wSpO2 module is incorrectly positioned when used within the MR magnet room, the
following factors can cause SPO2 waveform distortion and numeric inaccuracies, and
respiration numeric inaccuracies:
• Fast magnetic field changes usually found but not limited to scan sequences using PNS
levels above 80 percent.
• Severe vibrations induced by scan sequences using PNS levels above 80 percent.
• Distance from the bore opening.
• Distance from the bore iso-center in the x, y, or z direction.
