Operating Instructions
Operating in the MR Environment
When operating the 7500FO in the MR (magnetic resonance)
environment, observe the following safety considerations:
• Use only NONIN-branded 8000FC or 8000FI Fiber Optic Sensors. Do
not use cables or sensors that contain conductive wires.
• While setting up the patient, check the patient's baseline oxygen
saturation and pulse rate for comparison with scan readings.
• The 7500FO and the connectors for the fiber optic contain ferrous
material and must be kept as far away from the magnet as possible at
all times.
WARNING:
To avoid injury or potential equipment damage, always keep
the oximeter and metal end of fiber optic cable beyond the distance of
magnetic attraction. To ensure safe operation of the 7500FO in the MR
environment, the monitor must be located outside the 5 Gauss line of the
MR room and must be firmly attached to a fixed object.
CONTRAINDICATION:
enironment.
When operating the 7500FO in the MR environment, observe the
following installation recommendations:
• Install the 7500FO in the MR environment near the observation window
or outside the MR environment so the displayed values on the pulse
oximeter may be clearly viewed. The 7500FO monitor must also be
firmly attached to a fixed object using the mounting hole (1/4-20 thread)
on the bottom of the device.
• When operating the 7500FO inside the MR environment, operate the
7500FO on battery power only. Remove the 7500FO from the MR
environment to recharge the batteries when the pulse oximeter is not
in use.
• If interference is suspected to the MR image or to the 7500FO, contact
NONIN Customer Support at (800) 356-8874 or (763) 553-9968 for
assistance.
