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.
