CAUTION
The patient is wearing electrically conductive material! Incorrect
patient positioning!
Formation of electric current loops
Peripheral nerve stimulation of the patient
◆ Ensure that the patient does not wear clothing that is wet or
dampened by perspiration.
◆ Ensure that the patient is free of metallic rings, chains, or
electrically conductive materials worked into items of clothing
(for example, brassiere support wires, metallic appliqués or
woven metallic yarns).
◆ Always position the patient so that the patient's arms are
aligned with the torso and ensure that hands, arms, and legs
do not touch (minimum distance: 5 mm).
◆ Ensure that the minimum distance of 5 mm is maintained
between patient and tunnel covering.
◆ To ensure this distance, use positioning aids, e.g. blankets
made of linen, cotton, or paper, or dry material that is
permeable to air.
◆ Ensure sufficient ventilation.
CAUTION
Heating up/ignition of synthetic blankets via the RF field during
the measurement!
Patient burns
◆ Use only covers made of paper, cotton or linen.
