Exposure to Radiation or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI)
CAUTIONS:
(1) The pump SHOULD NOT BE
DIRECTLY IRRADIATED by therapeutic
levels of ionizing radiation because of the
risk of permanent damage to the pump’s
electronic circuitry. The best procedure to
follow is to remove the pump from the
patient during therapeutic radiation sessions
or diagnostic levels of radiographic and
fluoroscopic radiation. If the pump must
remain in the vicinity during a diagnostic or
therapy session, it should be shielded, and
its ability to function properly should be
confirmed following treatment.
(2) Magnetic fields produced by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) equipment may
adversely affect the operation of the pump.
Remove the pump from the patient during
MRI procedures and keep it at a safe
distance from magnetic energy.
