Part 1 Introduction

General System Components

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 pavilion 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.
The System main components are the following:
1. Permanent Magnet Unit with patient table
2. Operator Console (computer unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse)
3. Modular shielding pavilion (optional)
4. Electronics Unit (must be placed outside of the Pavilion)
5. EFI unit to compensate for magnetic field fluctuations (optional
and not shown in figures)
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
The optional modular shielding pavilion protects the System from
external RF noise. The attenuation of the pavilion is 70 dB at a
frequency range of 8 - 12 MHz.
If a different Shielding Cage (not ESAOTE) is selected its attenuation
must be 70dB or higher at 10 MHz.
The pavilion has been designed in such a way that it can be installed
with minimal effects on the room infrastructure.
The Pavilion is not provided with the system: it has to be ordered.
The pavilion is composed of modular elements made of perforated
aluminum panels that are attached to aluminum support frames. This
construction allows the pavilion 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.
There are two sliding doors available for access.
All the parts are assembled with hardware that makes it easy to
disassemble and reinstall the pavilion. The size and weight of the
modules make handling easy.
The pavilion can be completely mounted from inside. Therefore, the
pavilion can even be installed in corners, partitioned-off rooms or
rooms slightly larger than the pavilion itself.

NOTICE Ensure that a craftsman is available for covering

the floor of the pavilion with linoleum (provided
with the Pavilion) after siting the magnet unit
Patient Routine Monitoring
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 Pavilion is an option and must be ordered

separately.

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

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 pavilion 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 pavilion 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 pavilion may cause them to malfunction.

These results are then compared to the corresponding specifications
shown in this chapter.
The first step is to complete the Preliminary Site Survey Report (refer Tab. 6: Maximum RF Noise
to Annex 2) during the sales phase of the project, and to return it to
your site survey specialist. This information is needed in order to
estimate installation costs, the costs associated with the Maximum RF Noise
measurement, and to determine whether or not a system can be 40 dB μV/m
installed at that particular location. However, the final decision on the
suitability of the site depends on the results of site measurements,
and not on the Preliminary Site Survey Report.

Particular Situations
In some cases, it is possible to install the system with even higher
magnetic field fluctuation and particularly as reported below:
Tab. 10: Maximum Values for DC with EFI
Static Magnetic Field Generated by Other
Sources
The Static Magnetic Field generated by other sources (e.g. MRI
systems) can influence the System performances. For this reason the
fringe field of the external MRI equipment must be at maximum
0.1 mT (1G) on the external boundaries of the Pavilion.

Maximum Values for DC with EFI Tab. 12: Static Magnetic Field

A very important parameter to take into consideration is the time

stability of AC disturbance. The more stable the level of the
disturbance, the simpler and better the compensation will be.

NOTICE If MRI equipment is installed near the system, the

gradient fringe fields must also be considered and
treated as any other external magnetic field
fluctuations. For this reason refer to the table

Building Vibrations
Building vibrations or shocks affecting the magnet may degrade
image quality. Vibrational acceleration amax transferred through
building vibrations to the magnet must not exceed the values shown in
the following table in the vertical direction.

measurements must be performed during working
hours

Conversion in mm/sec2: a [mm/sec2] = 980.7 x 10E (V dB(g) / 20)

Power, Mains and Grounding
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 power requirements are listed in the following table.

141012800 VER.2
Mains Distribution
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. 5: 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 pavilion is
insulated from the floor via corresponding insulating sheeting.
Never perform double ground connections to avoid grounding loop.

WARNING The System has to be connected to the UPS at

the end of the Magnet warming up process.
Charge the UPS batteries before to connect
the System to it.

Air-conditioning Power Supply

The power supply for the room's air-conditioner of the room must be
selected according to the environmental conditions specified in Power
Requirements table.
Lighting Equipment
Due to the special perforated steel sheet, external lighting may be
sufficient to illuminate the System components for patient’s
examinations and maintenance. If it is not, internal lighting can be
used (not delivered). The filter plate provides a dedicated filter for this
purpose. Simultaneous use of the system's power supply with the
lighting equipment is not allowed.

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
NOTICE Fluorescent lamps and Light-adjusting

Convenience Outlets
Emergency Lamp and Smoke Sensor
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.
Air-conditioning
Air-conditioning should be provided according to the environmental
conditions of the room. No air-conditioning duct openings must be
installed above the magnet or the operator console.
NOTICE To prevent magnetic field drifts, the magnet
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.
Power Supply for Air-conditioning
The power supply for the room's air-conditioner of the room must be
selected according to the environmental conditions specified in Power
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
Pavilion.
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 dimensions are 10 - 12 mm (diameter) and
100 mm (length).

It must be placed outside the System Pavilion (or RF Cage) and is
connected to the Magnet trough the Filter Panel while is connected to
the PC Unit using an optical fiber cable for the data transfer.
It contains the System Insulating Transformer as well so it must be
connected to the mains in order to provide power to all the System
Components except to the PC Unit that is powered directly from an
Hospital power plug.
The Electronics Unit can be moved using its wheels, when the final
position is reached the four feet (already mounted as the wheels) can
be unscrewed until reaching the floor in order to get the Electronics

the center of the magnet. Sources of magnetic interference may be
associated with one or more of the following:
a) AC 50 Hz or 60 Hz: high current cables, etc.
b) AC 50 Hz or 60 Hz: transformers, motors, etc.
c) AC 16.6 Hz or 25 Hz: power cables used for trains
d) Moving iron objects: cars, trucks, elevators, patient beds,
equipment, etc.
e) Switched DC: tram, subway, other MR-systems
f) RF noise: antennas, fans (even not magnetic), monitors, engines,
transformers, ups, phone switch boards, medical systems, etc.

NOTICE Fans can create AC noise even if they are not

magnetic.
