CAUTION
Accidental patient table movement!
Injury to the patient
◆ If you plan an intervention outside the magnet, activate the
Table Stop button to avoid accidental patient table
movement, or injury to the patient. After completing the
intervention, the table can be unlocked.
CAUTION
Vertical and horizontal movement of the patient table!
Injury to patient and other persons
Damage to the patient table
◆ Ensure that there are no obstacles (e.g. extending or
overhanging body parts, hair, clothing, straps) between table
and the magnet, or that the additional equipment (e.g. IV
tube, respirator or ECG) does not get caught and remains in
and on the patient when moving the tabletop.
◆ Secure the patient’s arms and legs with straps so that the
patient is not caught between the tabletop and the magnet
cover. Remain in the MR examination room with helpless
patients (e.g. children and patients who are either seriously
ill, paralyzed, unconscious, sedated, handicapped or
medicated), even if the patients are secured during the
examination.
◆ Keep the patient under visual or acoustic control.
◆ In case of hazardous conditions, press the Table Stop button.
◆ Explain the significance of protocol-controlled table
movements to the patient.
