Part 1 Introduction
General
The installation and service of equipment described herein is to
be performed by qualified personnel which is employed or
authorized by ESAOTE or one of its affiliates. Assemblers and
other personnel not employed by nor directly affiliated with nor
authorized by ESAOTE or one of its affiliates technical services
are directed to contact the local office of ESAOTE or its affiliates
before attempting installation or service procedures.
This planning guide provides a description of the items to be
considered when planning the installation of the system in order to
assure its safe operation.
Like other MR systems, the system is sensitive to RF interference.
Therefore, a modular optional RF Cage is used to shield the system
from external RF noise. If already in place, a standard RF cabin can
be used instead.
As the system has an open architecture it is also more sensitive to low
frequency magnetic field fluctuations than a closed system. Up to a
certain limit, the system's EFI unit can compensate for these
fluctuations.
To ensure that the external RF noise and the magnetic field
fluctuation do not exceed the specified limits, site survey
measurement has to be performed (see also RF and Magnetic Field
Interference and Annex 2, Preliminary Site Survey).
Refer to Annex 1 for an overview of actions to be taken while planning
a system installation.
141010600 VER.3
System Components
The System main components are the following:
1. Permanent Magnet Unit with rotating mechanism
2. Sliding and rotating (together with the Magnet) patient table
3. Sliding step in front of the Magnet with two possible installation
layouts: going up to the left or to the right
4. Operator Console (computer unit with accessories, monitor and
desk): the PC holder can be mounted left or right side
5. Modular shielding RF Cage (optional)
6. Electronics Unit (must be placed outside of the RF Cage)
7. EFI unit to compensate for magnetic field fluctuations (not shown
in figures - optional)
WARNING Different system configurations are not
allowed.
System component modifications are not
allowed.
Any modification of system configuration
and/or system component will immediately
cause the losing of all the approvals, the
losing of the warranty and may cause safety
and effectiveness issues.

cm, width 19 cm, length 13.1 cm
● Coil 15 TMJ: 23,7 x 14,4 x 2,8 cm (maximum ext)
To guarantee acoustic and visual contact between the physician and
the patient during examination, the system has been equipped with a
semi-transparent Shielding Box.
The acoustic contact feature is achieved through the use of perforated
metallic panels for the Box mechanical structure, while appropriate
Shielding Box inside and outside lighting achieves visual contact.
NOTICE The ESAOTE RF Cage is an option
If the system is installed inside a traditional shielding cage the
following restrictions should be kept in mind:
● The cage should be equipped with a window with a grid to enable
acoustic contact between the physician and the patient. As on
alternative an intercom system has to be used to ensure a
possible communication between the patient and the operator.
The intercom has to be ordered locally (not available from
ESAOTE). It must not create interference to the MR system!
● The inside and outside lighting cage should be properly set for
visual contact; moreover the system installation position should be
frontal to the window in order to enable the physician to check the
patient through the magnet opening during the examination
Modular Shielding RF Cage Fig. 5: ESAOTE RF Cage - Central door configuration

The optional modular shielding RF Cage protects the System from

external RF noise. The attenuation of the RF Cage is 70 dB at a
frequency of 10 MHz.
ESAOTE Cage Low Height version with lights Code 151 0060 00
ESAOTE Cage Roof Extension for Ankle WB Exam Code 151 0060
10 (shown in red in the following figure)
If a different Shielding Cage (not ESAOTE) is selected its attenuation
must be 70dB or higher at 10 MHz.
The RF Cage has been designed in such a way that it can be installed
with minimal effects on the room infrastructure.
The RF Cage is not provided with the system: it has to be ordered.
The RF Cage is composed of modular elements made of perforated
aluminum panels that are attached to aluminum support frames. This
construction allows the RF Cage to use the same lighting and
ventilation supplied to the room. It eliminates the need for a dedicated
air conditioning system and possibly even internal lighting as well.
The sliding door available for access can be installed in central or
lateral positions.
All the parts are assembled with hardware that makes it easy to
disassemble and reinstall the RF Cage. The size and weight of the
modules make handling easy.
The RF Cage can be completely mounted from inside. Therefore, the
RF Cage can even be installed in corners, partitioned-off rooms or
rooms slightly larger than the RF Cage itself.

NOTICE Ensure that a craftsman is available for covering

the floor of the RF Cage with linoleum after siting
the magnet unit

For the RF Cage dimension refer to Technical Data chapter,

Dimension of System Components paragraph.

Safety Notes
The magnet installed in the scan room is always under field and
attracts magnetic material. The apparatus and instruments to be
carried into the RF Cage should be non-magnetic. Gurneys,
stretchers or other large metallic objects, which may possibly be
attracted to the magnet, can be dangerous. It could be useful to
differentiate these objects from the standard furnishings through the
use of color-coding.
Items must not be brought into the RF Cage unless they are made of
non-magnetic material. In general, people must be prohibited from
entering the scan room. Local regulations require that warning signs
be posted with respect to possible malfunctioning of instruments or
pacemakers due to the fringe magnetic field. Preventive measures
must be taken with regard to this. A warning sign calling the attention
of the hospital workers and patients entering the scan room must be
posted (refer also to next figure). Carrying a watch, credit card, etc.,
into the RF Cage may cause them to malfunction.

Part 2 Planning
Room
Minimum Size and Configuration
Only one room is required to install the system.
The Table Head extension is an option and has to be ordered with the
System only if the Site and Cage heights allow its installation.
Please take in consideration that:
● The room height dimension has to be higher if lights or air
conditioning ducts are present over the RF Cage (space required
for maintenance). Otherwise they must be removed prior to
proceed with the system installation
● The minimum room heights have been calculated leaving a small
gap between the Patient Table and the cage ceiling and between
the cage roof and the room ceiling
● Obviously if any of the previous data will be different than the
assumed ones, the room heights must be re-calculated
NOTICE The following room heights are related to the
ESAOTE RF Cage only: according to the room
and cage shapes and dimensions they may vary
slightly.
The ESAOTE RF cage has been design using the
minimum possible dimensions so they must
considered as Minimum Service Area and must
be guaranteed in all the System installation.

your site survey specialist. This information is needed in order to
estimate installation costs, the costs associated with the Maximum RF Noise

Power, Mains and Grounding Mains Distribution

Due to the sensitivity of the system to RF interference, great care
should be taken when providing the power supply and when
grounding the system.
To safely operate the installed system, dedicated power supplies must
be provided for the MRI system and the air-conditioner, as well as any
lighting equipment and convenience outlets.
A switch box should be provided on the wall of the room, with
separate switches for each of the above power supplies to allow
system maintenance and service. Simultaneous use of the power
supply for the system with air-conditioning, lighting and other
electrical equipment is not allowed.
The system power requirements and consumption are listed in the
following table.
Tab. 13: Power Requirements
The mains must be equipped with a RCCB (Residual Current
Circuit Breaker) even not dedicated. The RCCB is also called
ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) or RCD (Residual Circuit
Device) or GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter). This device is for
breaking a circuit automatically when it senses fraction of an
Ampere leakage current flowing to earth in excess to
predetermined amount.
The system must be connected, through an UPS system, to a
25A CB (Circuit Breaker) that is connected to the previously
described RCCB. The CB is a re-settable switch that is tripped
either by long term over current operated by a thermal
mechanism or by short term over current by a magnetic
mechanism.
Tested model: E.T.A. 2210-T220-K0T1-H0-25A.
The CB must comply with the specifications present in the
following table.

Fig. 14: Time/Current Characteristic These breakers must be approved in according to the international
and/or national and/or federal and/or local standards in force and they
must be installed in a wall-mounted sheltered box near the unit.
Wiring between the system and the CB must be via the three-wire
cable supplied with the system itself. It must be cut to the appropriate
length and cable end sleeves must be inserted before inserting them
into the terminal connection. The equipment must be permanent
connected to the Mains (according to EN 60601-1); therefore the
cable can be removed only by means of a special tool (e.g. a
screwdriver).

Power supply cable

The power supply cable, provided with the system, is a three-wire,
10m long, shielded cable with a 3 mm2 section. See the next table for
the characteristics of the power supply cable.

System Grounding
The grounding conductor must be insulated and must not be
electrically connected to surrounding structures. To ensure that the
system is grounded properly, the modular shielding RF Cage is
insulated from the floor via corresponding insulating sheeting.
Never perform double ground connections to avoid grounding loop.

Lighting Equipment Convenience Outlets

Lights are already provided with the ESAOTE cages.
Emergency Lamp and Smoke Sensor
If using other cages, internal lighting can be used (not delivered) and
the filter plate provides a dedicated filter for this purpose. An emergency lamp and smoke sensor must be shielded if installed
inside the scan room. They must be powered through the Filter Panel
using the auxiliary plug.

NOTICE To prevent magnetic field drifts, the magnet

If internal room lighting is required, the following items must be
considered:
● Incandescent lamps must be used, and the luminance should be
about 200 lux, similar to that of general examination rooms
● Spotlights must not be used for the room illumination due to
interference pattern with would be created by the RF Cage
● Lights must not be directed towards the magnet to avoid local
heating of the iron yoke and changes in the magnet shimming
parameters
must not be exposed to direct airflow from
any of the air duct openings
Because the system has a small magnetic fringe field, standard
air-conditioner items (galvanized sheet iron) may be used for the
air-conditioning duct and accessories in the scan room.
The air-conditioner for the scan room must operate constantly, even
when the MRI system is not in operation.

NOTICE Fluorescent lamps and Light-adjusting Power Supply for Air-conditioning

devices or thyristor systems must not be used
The power supply for the room's air-conditioner of the room must be
either internally or externally since they can
selected according to the environmental conditions specified in Power
emit noise
Requirements table.
Medical Tubing
The locations of medical tubing (oxygen and vacuum suction) will be
determined in accordance with customer requirements.
Electrically insulated tubing (nylon, polyethylene, Teflon, etc.) must be
used for applications that are routed through the RF-shielded walls.
Metal tubing should not be used for these types of applications since
the tubing acts as a RF antenna by introducing external noise into the
RF Cage.
Insulate the primary-side tubing from the RF-shielded room. An
insulated tube and a copper pipe must be connected using a joint that
is appropriate to both materials.
For the oxygen tube the maximum dimensions are 10 - 12 mm
(diameter) and 100 mm (length).
