Preparing the Device for Safe Use in the MR
Environment
• Do not take any of the non-implanted
accessories such as the stylet, drill bit, drill
stop, hex wrench etc., into the MRI
environment.
• Ensure that the extension cable and
monitor are
Catheter prior
environment.
• Ensure all components of the External
Ventricular Drainage system used with the
Catheter are MR Safe or MR Conditional to
1.5T or 3.0T.
• Coil the externalized lead of the Catheter
in a 2.5 inch (6.3 cm) to 3.5 inch (8.8 cm)
diameter range and tape to the top of the
patient's head using adhesive tape. (See
Fig. 11 and 12)
• Ensure that the catheter is securely
coiled and no portion of the externalized
lead or black connector is routed along
the side of the patient's head or
shoulders.

MRI Scanning Parameters for Safe Use of
Device
• A knowledgeable MRI expert must verify
that the MRI Safety Information has been
followed prior to performing the MRI
procedure.
• For use in 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems
only.
• Do not exceed a maximum head or whole
body averaged specific absorption rate
(SAR) of 2 W/kg (Normal Operating Mode).
• Use only the following coils for MRI
Procedures:
• Transmit / Receive Body Coils,
• Transmit Body Coils / Body Receive-
Coil, and
• Transmit Body Coils / Head Receive
Coil
• Ensure that the proper patient weight is
used for the SAR calculations and verify
that the MRI system has appropriately
calculated and updated the SAR value
after all parameter changes have been
made.
