Compatibility
Among other things, the following hazards or complications may
occur through the use of third-party products during MR
examinations:
◾ Heating of system cables or connection cables
◾ Interference with MR image quality
◾ Malfunctioning of third-party products
Auxiliary equipment, which has not been specifically tested and
approved for use in the environment of the MR equipment, may
result in burns or other injuries to the patient.
If the MR system is combined with other systems or components, it
must be ensured that the planned combination and cable routing do
not affect the safety of patients, personnel, or the environment.
Ensure that the devices used in the examination room are
compatible with the field strength of the MR system. For
example, devices compatible with 1.5 T systems may be
unsuitable for 3 T systems. See also MR-conditional:

◆ Contact Siemens Service prior to combining the MR system with
other devices.
Peripheral equipment (e.g. patient monitoring, life support or
emergency care equipment) which is not specified or recommended
for use in the MRI environment, including the controlled access area,
may be disturbed by the RF field or the magnetic fringe field of the
MR system. This equipment may also disturb the proper function of
the MR system.
ASTM International developed a new classification system for
implants and ancillary clinical devices. The following definitions
