1、Designation: F 2503 08Standard Practice forMarking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety in theMagnetic Resonance Environment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2503; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of re

2、vision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the marking of medical devices andother items to indicate their safety in the

3、 magnetic resonance(MR) environment.1.2 The purpose of this practice is to (1) recommend thatitems that may be brought into the MR environment bepermanently marked to indicate the MR environment to whicha specific item may safely be exposed, and (2) recommendinformation that should be included in th

4、e marking. It isrecognized that direct marking on the item is not practical forimplants and certain other medical devices. Where directmarking is not practical, this practice recommends that themarking be included in the labeling and on patient informationcards (see 7.1).1.3 Image artifact is not co

5、nsidered to be a safety issue andso is not addressed in this practice (see X1.5).1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated wit

6、h its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

27、4. Significance and Use4.1 Medical devices and other items have caused seriousinjuries and death for patients and other individuals in the MRenvironment.4.2 This practice provides a uniform system for marking toindicate the MR conditions that have been determined to beacceptable for a medical device

28、 or other item. It providessimple visual icons and terms which are intended to reduceinjuries and other mishaps that occur when items that posehazards in the MR environment are brought into the MRenvironment.5. Methods of Marking5.1 The marking method should not compromise perfor-mance or function o

29、f the marked item and should providelegibility over the anticipated service life of the item.6. Required Information6.1 Perform testing sufficient to characterize the behavior ofthe item in the MR environment. In particular, testing for itemsthat may be placed in the MR environment should addressmag

30、netically induced displacement force (Test MethodF 2052), magnetically induced torque (Test Method F 2213),and RF heating (Test Method F 2182).NOTE 3Other possible safety issues include but are not limited to,thermal injury, induced currents/voltages, electromagnetic compatibility,neurostimulation,

31、acoustic noise, interaction among devices, and the safefunctioning of the item and the safe operation of the MR system.6.2 Any parameter that affects the safety of the item shouldbe listed. Any condition that is known to produce an unsafecondition must be described.7. Information Included in MR Mark

32、ing7.1 Medical devices and other items vary widely in size, andthe amount of information that practically can be included inmarking varies accordingly. For implants, the MR markingshould be included in the package labeling (including theinstructions for use and package inserts) and on the patientinf

33、ormation card. For nonimplanted items intended to be usedin the MR environment, the MR marking should be positionedin a prominent location on the item as well as in the itemlabeling. Some items (for example, small or very thin items) donot provide any surfaces which can be marked practically. Forite

34、ms for which direct marking is not practical, the MRmarking should be included in the labeling.F25030827.2 Minimum InformationAs a result of the testing de-scribed in Section 6, mark the item as MR Safe, MR Condi-tional, or MR Unsafe using the icons as shown in Tables 1 and2.7.2.1 The MR Safe icon c

35、onsists of the letters “MR”surrounded by a green square (Table 1). Two options are given.When color reproduction is not practical, the icon may beprinted in black and white (Table 2). The use of the coloredicon is strongly encouraged for the added visibility andinformation provided by the presence o

36、f the color. For bothcolor and black and white options in Tables 1 and 2, the optionthat is most visible for the individual application should bechosen.7.2.2 The MR Conditional icon consists of the letters “MR”within a yellow equilateral triangle with a thick black bandaround the perimeter (Table 1)

37、. The triangle is oriented with itshorizontal side below the letters “MR.” When color reproduc-tion is not practical, the icon may be printed in black and white(Table 2). The use of the colored icon is strongly encouragedfor the added visibility and information provided by thepresence of the color.7

38、.2.2.1 For MR Conditional items, the item labeling (in-structions for use, package inserts, operator manual, patientinformation card, as appropriate) will include appropriateinformation from 3.1.9 and Section 6.(1) The MR Conditional icon may be supplemented by asupplementary sign which includes the

39、 appropriate informationfrom 3.1.9 and Section 6 and describes the conditions forwhich the item that has been demonstrated to pose no knownhazards in a specified MR environment with specified condi-tions of use. The supplementary sign consists of text sur-rounded by a rectangular frame.NOTE 4This si

40、gn may be particularly useful for inclusion on nonim-planted items that are used in the MR environment, for instance onelectronic equipment, room furnishings, or item packaging and labeling.7.2.3 The MR Unsafe marking consists of the letters “MR”surrounded by a red circle with a diagonal red bar acr

41、oss theletters extending from the upper left quadrant to the lower rightquadrant of the circle and oriented at 45 from the horizontal(Table 1). When color reproduction is not practical, the iconmay be printed in black and white (Table 2). The use of thecolored icon is strongly encouraged for the add

42、ed visibility andinformation provided by the presence of the color.7.3 The icons shall comply with the layout requirementsgiven below (see ISO 3864-1 7.2, 7.3, and 7.5). The colors aregiven in Table 3. Note that the colors represented in anelectronic or paper copy of this document may not match thec
