Risk of personal injury and environmental damage In case water, for example from the Animal Body Temperature Conditioning water circuit or from the Animal Warming Blankets is spilled and potentially entered the RF Coil (MR instruments), safety measure have to be followed to dry up the instrument in a safe way.
In case of spills other than water e.g. from samples containing chemicals or radioactive tracers, see section Removal of Spilled Sample Fluids or section Radioactive Tracer and Samples where applicable. - •
- Stop running scans and switch the scanner to the stand-by mode.
- •
- Dry all wet surfaces and devices of the MR instrument using a dry cloth.
- •
- Then, where applicable for RF Coils: Remove the RF Coil from the instrument and allow spilled water to flow out of the coil by placing it in a suitable manner.
- •
- Ensure that all wet areas were dried before switching the instrument on again or using the RF Coil. If unclear, let the instrument dry afterwards for an appropriate time, potentially for several hours.
