The MAGNETOM Harmony (1T) and Symphony/Sonata (1.5T) comprise the following functions:
Generation of the basic magnetic field Generation of the gradient field Generation and measurement of the high frequency field System control including host HW Patient positioning and monitoring System power supply Software System components
Magnet system The magnet system generates the basic magnetic field. The components required for the MAGNETOM Harmony (1T) and Symphony/Sonata (1.5T) are described below. The electrical and mechanical shim are integrated into the gradient coil. The magnet comprises the superconducting magnet including the system for cooling (interface for helium fill/refill, cold head), energizing (current probe) and monitoring the magnet during operation. In addition, it includes the cabling up to the point where the external lines are connected. Whole body gradient system (GPA; Gradient coil) In addition to the basic magnetic field, the whole body gradient system generates linear dynamic magnetic field gradients into the three room orientations. The whole body gradient system includes the gradient amplifier and the gradient coil. RF system The RF system generates the RF fields and transmits them to the patient (transmit function). It also receives the MR signals emitted by the patient and provides them in digital format for image reconstruction (receive system). RF Coils The system includes a whole body coil for emitting RF to the patient and for receiving MR signals from the patient. The tune box which adjusts the resonator to the performance amplifier as a function of frequency and load as well as the connection cables to these units are part of the body coil. The support tube of the body coil also functions as the inner cover of the magnet tunnel. RF local coils improve image quality when examining specific body regions. System electronics (GPA/CCA) The system electronics cabinet includes power supply distribution, RFPA, GPA, RF-electronics and CCS. RCA cabinet The RCA cabinet is the interface between "primary chilled water" and the water cooled system components (secondary water circuit). MRC console The MRC console consists of the HOST PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse to operate the MR system. In addition a intercom is part of the console electronics.

Imager PC
General
The imager PC is responsible for the "image calculation" and is usually located in the equipment room. RF-filter plate The RF filter plate is the interface from the electronic cabinet into the RF room. All el. signals must be filtered to prevent interferences. Alarm box The alarm box is for switching on/off the MR system. It also contains the ERDU (Magnet-Stop) button.
Patient handling
Prior to the MR examination the patient is positioned on the table using the positioning accessories for additional comfort. During the examination, the patient is monitored accordingly, e.g. via video camera. The system handling function covers all requirements and includes the patient table, lighting, ventilation, and patient monitoring. Since the patient is usually alone in the examination room during the measurements, patient and physician communicate via the intercom. The intercom consists of the configurations necessary in the examination room and the operating console as well as the cabling. Whenever required, the patient is monitored during the examination via a video camera. The set up consists of the camera, the monitor as well as the cabling.

Regulatory affairs
Pressure Equipment Directive
General
1
NOTE
Local national laws, codes, regulations and procedures must be maintained.
The magnet qualifies as pressure equipment. When starting up and during the operating of pressure equipment, national regulations have to be observed. In Europe, the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EU) regulates the introduction to market of pressure equipment. In Germany, the Pressure Equipment Directive as well as the "Betriebsicherheitsverordnung" (BetrSichV)(Industrial Safety Regulations) apply to system start-up and operation. The BetrSichV stipulates that prior to start-up the user or others must perform a final acceptance test consisting of inspection of documentation, safety equipment, and installation. Periodic inspections of the cryostat are not required. However, periodic internal tests and periodic strength tests are mandatory, if the equipment is taken out of operation for maintenance or repair work.
Druckgerteverordnung
Der Magnet ist ein Druckgert. Fr die Inbetriebnahme und den Betrieb von Druckgerten sind die nationalen Vorschriften zu beachten. In Europa regelt die Druckgerterichtlinie (97/23/EG) [Pressure Equipment Directive] die Inverkehrbringung des Druckgertes. In Deutschland gilt die Druckgerteverordnung sowie die fr die Inbetriebnahme und den Betrieb der Anlage relevante Betriebssicherheitsverordnung (BetrSichV). Die BetrSichV schreibt dem Betreiber u.a. eine Abnahmeprfung vor Inbetriebnahme vor, die aus einer Ordnungsprfung, Prfung der Sicherheitsausrstung und Prfung der Aufstellung besteht. Wiederkehrende Prfungen des Kryostaten sind nicht vorgeschrieben. Bei Druckgerten mssen jedoch wiederkehrende innere Prfungen und wiederkehrende Festigkeitsprfungen durchgefhrt werden, wenn sie zu Instandsetzungsarbeiten auer Betrieb genommen werden.

The fringe field may affect the functions of devices operated in the vicinity of the magnet. To prevent interference, the magnetic flux density at the location of these devices may not exceed certain values. The flux density acceptable for these devices depends on a number of different parameters. All pertinent information is available through the manufacturer.
NOTE
The fringe field of the MR system may make its location critical as specified in the planning documentation. Additional room shielding can be calculated and recommended by the planning department VR P in Erlangen.

The final location selected for the magnet has to ensure that the stability and homogeneity of the magnetic field are not adversely affected by extraneous fields. In addition, the magnetic fringe field should not impair the safety of personnel or the functions of other devices in the vicinity of the magnet.
Minimum distances between magnets (Siemens only)
NOTE
It is not possible to install electronics components (ECA/GPA/RCA/Optional RF-cabinet) of systems with the same operating frequency side by side! Refer to: "Co-Siting" on page 2 - 15 The CCA cabinets have to be sepatated by 6m. The magnetic field of one system has to be ramped to the upper frequency limit of tolerance the other magnet to the lower frequency limit of tolerance! Shim is only optimized with both magnets ramped up during the shimming procedure.
The following minimum distances between magnets are valid if:
Both magnets are on field No magnet is ramping during the other runs applications If one magnet is switched off the other magnet has to be re-shimmed Get in contact with the VR P / CS department if you have non Siemens products or older systems or if
you have to plan e.g. two systems with the same operating frequency.

Source of interference
Room planning
2
Effects on the magnetic field are divided into: - static interferences caused by e.g. ferromagnetic objects, especially those located underneath the magnet - dynamic interferences caused by e.g. moving ferromagnetic objects or low-frequency magnetic fields In critical cases, either Siemens or a third party authorized by Siemens checks the suitability of the site. The tests are designed to detect electro-magnetic and mechanical sources of interference. Siemens is not responsible for inspecting structural prerequisites, for example, the load capacity of floors or the heating and air conditioning system of the site. Similarly, Siemens is not responsible for executing or monitoring preliminary on-site installation steps. For these reasons, Siemens will not be held liable for the customers failure to maintain specific operating conditions.
NOTE
Static effects can be compensated for by shimming. Dynamic effects are compensated for by maintaining the maximum values indicated.
NOTE
A magnetic shielding is required e.g. if minimum distances to static / moving iron masses or AC/DC cables cannot be kept.

Co-Siting describes the prerequisites ("Co-siting prerequisites" on page 2 - 16) for planning/ installing two MR systems at the same time with the same operating frequency (field strength) side by side. One other scenario could be: A customer does have already a 1.5T system under operation and is getting a second 1.5T system in the close vicinity of the first one. In this case the new system must fulfill all requirements specified in this section "Co-siting prerequisites" on page 2 - 16. The already installed system should be modified in points where it is possible.
NOTE
It is not possible to install electronics components (ECA/GPA/RCA/Optional RF-cabinet) of systems with the same operating frequency side by side! Additional prerequisites are mandatory! ("Co-siting prerequisites" on page 2 - 16) The CCA cabinets have to be sepatated by 6m (center to center Fig. 2; Fig. 3). The magnetic field of one system has to be ramped according to the ramp procedure to the upper frequency limit of tolerance the other magnet to the lower frequency limit of tolerance! Shim is only optimized with both magnets ramped up during the shimming procedure.

Co-siting prerequisites
Room planning
2
NOTE
The following prerequisites for Co-Siting are mandatory for both of the two MR systems.
If two systems with the same operating frequency have to be planned (or one is already installed) take the following into account:
The attenuation of the RF-cabin must be 100dB at the required operating frequency. For additional/optional waveguides the following calculation applies:
L min = 4.0 d i
Lmin= length; di = inner diameter (di = < 250mm)
The two RF rooms must not be electrical connected at all. The openings of the RF-rooms (e.g. door, window, waveguide) have to be turn away from each other.
Having the mentioned openings (e.g. door, window, waveguide) facing each other must be avoided.
The CCA cabinets must be installed in a min. distance of 6.0m ("CCA distance" on page 2 - 18) from
each other.
The cable ducts (CCA side) of the two systems have to be installed separated by 6m. The short cable set (1.5m) is not permitted to use with to systems in Co-Siting even if the CCA
cabinet is installed directly underneath the RF filter plate.
There must be a separate on-site power distribution panel as far away from each other installed
for each system.
The RF filter plates have to be positioned as far as possible away from each other. The connection of the RF filters (gradient and power) has to be performed as requested in the
installation manual (e.g torque).
According to the ramp procedure one of the MR systems has to be ramped to the upper frequency
limit of e.g. 63.7 MHz (1.5T), the other MR system has to be ramped to app. 100 kHz lower than the first one see Fig. 1.

Noise reduction
Customer and Project Manager agree on adding additional sound damping solutions (e.g. additonal damping material in the walls of the RF-room) if required (e.g to meet local codes).
The Project Manager has informed the customer regarding structural borne and air borne noise.
Yes
Yes
alternative
The MR system is equipped with sound damping material (Sylomer/Sylodamp pads) for reducing the structural borne noise.
Yes
Local acoustic engineers and/or RF room manufacturers will get additional informations from VRP, Mr. B. Heinrich and CSSD, Mr. T. Polster via the local Siemens Project Manager after signing a non disclosure agreement with Siemens Medical Solutions.
Yes
The values provided in the Planning Guide in combination with the results of e.g. a local acoustic engineer or a qualified RF room manufacturer suffice to plan an appropriate noise reduction.
Consult a qualified RF room manufacturer (e.g Hamaco, Imedco, Albatross Projects) which has the qualification to supply a RF room with sound damping applications.
The set of Sylomer/Sylodamp pads consists of 8 Sylomer pads 25mm thick 150x200mm and 8 Sylodamp pads 15x200x25mm for the box-sections and 2 Sylomer pads 25mm thick 100x100mm for the patient table support disc. The total additional height will be 50mm! In addition a separate kick plate set is part of the kit to be used with the Sylomer pads. The kick plates will cover the additonal 50mm.

NOTE
The MAGNETOM Harmony/Symphony/Sonata is equipped with a set of Sylomer/Sylodamp pads for reducing the structural borne noise. The position of the pads is described in: "Sylomer/Sylodamp pad position" on page 2 - 29 The Sylomer/Sylodamp pad kit contens is shown in: "Sylomer/Sylodamp kit content" on page 2 - 29 The Sylomer/Sylodamp pad kit gives a tot. of 50mm additional height (depending on the RF room design there is the possibility to recess the area for the Sylomer/Sylodamp pads). In addition a additional set of kick plates is part of the delivery volume
The physical characteristics of the MR system generate a certain amount of noise, emitted as contact or acoustic noise. The table below provides you with the information to install the noise attenuation as required e.g. by law. The attenuation usually incurs additional structural expenditures. The noise level for the various systems averaged across different sequences is shown in the table below.

Information for using optical stimulation equipment fMRI
Room planning
2
The syngo MR software supports the application fMRI (functional imaging). Due to the magnet bore design the optical stimulation signals can only be fed to the patient from the rear. This fact has to be considered during planning when the customer will use fMRI. Additional space is required for the stimulation equipment at the rear (service end) side of the magnet (e.g. video projector, panel etc.). Consult users manufacturer manual of the stimulation equipment for details regarding installation, required space and distance to the magnet (fringe field).

The split floor option is fitted to prevent back flushing and spillage from header tank within the RCA unit. This can occur if the magnet is installed e.g. one floor above the RCA unit. The modification involves fitting a solenoid operated shut-off valve in the cooling return pipe from the gradient coil. The mechanical check valve is fitted into the cooling line feed to the gradient coil.
NOTE
If the RCA cabinet is installed one floor above/below of the system components (CCA; Magnet) a option kit "split floor operation" with the part number: 71 20 954 is available to prevent a return flow of the secondary water into the water tank. This is only valid for SCHROFF RCA cabinets!
NOTE
It might be necessary due to local circumstances to isolate the floor in the area where the RCA cabinet is positioned from the rest of the floor because of noise/vibration induction.

Function
The SC-10 or SC-10L Shield Cooler is a two-stage refrigeration system that conductive cools the warm (77 K) and cold (20 K) radiation shields of the MRI Cryostat, maintaining the shields at cryogenic temperatures and reducing the loss of liquid helium. The SC-10 Shield Cooler mates with the cryostat interface flange and shields provided by the magnet manufacturer. The system consists of a helium compressor (either HC-10 or HC-10L), interconnecting gas lines, cables and the shield cooler. The helium compressor uses high purity helium gas for its refrigerant. There is no co-mixing of the helium refrigerant with the helium in the cryostat. The equipment is designed for continuous operation. Electricity and cooling water for the compressor are the only required utilities. Pressures are stated as gauge, not absolute. Pressure units are bar and pounds per square inch (psig). For reference: 1 bar = 14.5 psig 1 MPa = 10 bar

Grounding

4
Siemens Medical Solutions products are sophisticated electronic systems that require attention to grounding to ensure optimal equipment performance and reliability. Equipment grounds to the Siemens equipment are specified to be "isolated" type as permitted in NEC 250-96(b) for the reduction of electrical noise. In order to maintain the integrity of the RF-shielded examination room, the ground must originate at the Siemens electronics cabinet ground bus (CCA cabinet), and should be connected at both ends under Siemens supervision. Non-current carrying conductive surfaces shall be grounded by a #6 a.w.g. insulated green copper conductor installed in the metal raceway that contains the branch-circuit conductors supplying the equipment. A neutral conductor if present is not used for the line voltage connection to the Siemens equipment. if the neutral conductor is provided it should not be electrically connected at any point in the power distribution to the siemens equipment unless specifically required. Unintentional neutral to ground bonds may violate local and national electrical codes as well as create grounding problems. The grounding of the system, esp. the provided facility ground should be prepared obeying local regulations. The internal grounding of the MR system must be setup with minimum ground loops in order to prevent noise currents and general disturbances flowing through the grounding path.
Grounding points
To achieve such a grounding three major grounding points should be used: 1. The provided facility ground in the distribution panel. 2. The main grounding point at the CCA cabinet (should be directly connected to (1)). 3. The RF-room common grounding point at the RF filter panel (should be directly connected to (1)). 4. An optional UPS System should be connected as well to (1).
To check for possible ground loops the ground resistance between the RF cabin (3) and the facility ground (1) should be checked prior switching on the system. The minimum resistance between (1) and (3) without connected ground wire should be at least 100 Ohm. After having measured that all ground wires should be connected and then the maximum resistance between any two points on the ground system should not exceed 200 mOhm. Additional electrical equipment installed inside the RF cabin should use RF filters mounted on the filter panel. These additional filters should be grounded as well to the RF cabin common ground. Any modifications or non-MR equipment grounds added to the MR ground system must be approved by Siemens representative to guarantee safety and performance of the system.

NOTE
Hazardous conditions are created by the magnetic field when connecting devices made from magnetizable material to the receptacles installed in the examination room. In addition, the functionality of electrical devices, e.g. servo ventilators, may be affected by the magnetic field if the devices are not suitable for this type of operation. The user is responsible for the installation an use of receptacles in the examination room as well as damages ensuing from said use. In addition, the on-site electrical system has to conform to Applicationgroup 2 (VDE 0107) when life supporting systems are used in the examination room.
NOTE
Power outlets inside the examination room must be connected through extra RF-filters and an insulation transformer if DIN VDE 0107 Applicationgroup 2 is required.

Room lighting
Intensity of illumination
4 - 17
4
The most important factors with respect to good lighting are the brightness level and light density which should result in reflection-free presentation and uniformity. Those parameters must be adjustable. The room lighting fixtures should be divided into groups so that they can be adjusted to daylight conditions.
NOTE
The planning of the illumination and position of e.g. monitors should be done in reference to DIN 6868-57.
In reference to DIN 6868-57 the illumination in rooms which are equipped with e.g. monitors for diagnoses has to fulfill the following requirements: - adjustable - non-dazzling - reproducible adjustment of the illumination density - no reflections from windows, lamps, display cabinets in the normal operation position of the e.g. monitor.
Image screen workstations
The special requirements to be met by the human eye when working with image screen workstations are, for example, rapid image or text displays. An expert in room lighting should be consulted when determining the physical location of the MR monitors and the seating arrangement for the operator. Of special importance is the location of windows (daylight) and illumination with respect to the screen.
Planning
Reflections from light sources or daylight (windows) lead to completely false contrast and brightness settings on the MR monitor. Since the images and texts displayed on the screen are the basis for photographic documentation, the quality of images from this source will be negatively influenced. Equally important for optimal image quality on the MR monitor and thus for the most fatigue-free working conditions are such factors as reflection and glare, light density, and adequate illumination strength.
Reflections, glare
Glare considerably impairs the work performed at the screen. Direct glare due to lamps or illumination as well as various kinds of reflected glare should be prevented. Appropriate planning is therefore highly important.

NOTE
Fluorescent lighting must not be installed inside the examination room.

DC voltage
The magnetic field adversely affects the operating life of light bulbs located in the immediate vicinity of the magnet. The filament in the light bulb oscillates with the frequency of the power supply. It is therefore recommended to connect light fixtures in the vicinity of the magnet to a DC voltage supply. If room lighting is supplied with DC voltage, correct polarity of the sockets should be ensured during their installation. Residual DC ripple should be 5%.
AC voltage
Only lamps without phase angle control should be used.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04

RF filters

Recommendation
Light sources should be installed as follows: - The groups of lamps in the examination room are switched on/off with the main switch in the control room - The set of lamps above the patient table is controlled via a switch in the examination room. - The set of lamps next to the patient table is controlled via a second switch in the examination room.

Protective Conductor Test

4
NOTE
Before performing the protective conductor test, read the operators manual of your measuring device! For some measuring devices the resistance of the measuring leads have to be subtracted from the measuring result!
NOTE
The entire grounding cabling must be installed, before this test can be performed.
NOTE
The protective conductor test has also to be performed from the on-site power distribution panel to the connection (mains box) of the CCA cabinet. This is to ensure the presence of the ground connection at the connection terminal of the CCA cabinet.
Use the protective conductor meter and measure the ohmic resistance between the protective conductor connection on top of the CCA cabinet and an uncoated metallic part of the:
RCA CCA Imager computer MRC Host computer MRC console components RF-room RF Filter plate Magnet Patient table Monitor Options (if available)
Should the resistance exceed in one instance 200m, test the protective conductor in question for satisfactory galvanic connection.
NOTE
NOTE
If this is not successful for devices with inlet-connectors (for non-heating appliances), an additional 16mm2 protective conductor should be connected to the respective housing. Do not disconnect the protective conductor in the line voltage cable.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04
On-site water supply

General
5-1
5
In Germany, DIN 1988 "Technical guideline for tap water installations" should be part of the planning
phase.
NOTE
If you are using tab water you have to take in cocideration the following: In case of a waterleak in the primary circuit water will flood the site. There is no automatic to stop the waterflow! The same stands with the use oof the emergency cooling connection at the water transfer panel (if used)!
Local regulations will apply in all other countries. If the country in question has not established specific regulations, DIN 1988 should be used. Relief valves have to be installed in the water supply pipes whenever required by local ordinance.
An on-site water supply is required for operating the RCA. The primary chilled water supplies three components:
The water chiller for the gradient coil, gradient cabinet, and RFPA amplifier. The helium compressor for operating the cold head. The CCS cabinet (optional water-cooled) for the cabinets requires water only when the system is
switched on.
NOTE
The helium compressor requires chilled water 24 hours a day.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04
5-2
Chilled water system

5
A closed loop chilled water system is recommended for reasons of cost-efficiency and for locations with low water tables.
It is absolutely necessary to achieve the require on site primary water specification. If the water quality is not as good as required damages to water-cooled components (e.g. cold head compressor) will occur.
NOTE
The primary water circuit has to be flushed and the primary water quality has to meet our specifications (see "General primary water specification" on page 5 - 4) before the primary water circuit will be connected to our RCA cabinet (water interface).
NOTE
In UPS mode, the switch on current of the water chiller must be limited to 2 ln. In = nominal current
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04

Requirements for the on-site water supply
General requirements
5-3
5
For the on-site water pipe installation only the following materials (for the water pipes) have to be used to guarantee a proper operation of the primary water circuit: - copper - plastic medium pipes - stainless steel - high-grade steel - non-ferrous metal
NOTE
Do not use any of the below mentioned materials. Those materials will cause damages to the cold head helium compressor.
Do not use: - standard steel pipes - zinc-plated steel - carbon steel
NOTE
The specifications of the primary cooling water are related to the primary cooling water input at the RCA cabinet. Pressure and temperature losses because of the distance and/or hoses between chiller and RCA cabinet are not included! If the on-site cooling water does not meet our specifications, a separate water chiller for the primary cooling water has to be installed!
NOTE
For a temporary operation of the cold head compressor (e.g. if no chilled primary water is available) consult the information at: "Temporary cold head compressor operation" on page 3 - 13

Air conditioning
General
The capacity of the air conditioning system is based on the:
6-1
6
heat dissipation from the system heat dissipation from the lights of the room heat generated by adjacent rooms or sun light
The air conditioning system selected should be designed to permit future expansion. In addition, the system should be equipped with sensors which would automatically switch off the air conditioning if an error occurs. The temperature and humidity values should be recorded by a thermo-hydrograph to ensure that the data required is available for troubleshooting. The MR system is cooled most effectively when the system components are installed at the prescribed distances from the walls or ceiling. If the input draws upon air from outside the building, we recommend installing an on-site filter of EU filter class 4 (DIN 24185/part 2) to remove dust particles > 10 m.
Air currents
NOTE
The air conditioning unit must be carried out according to local/country/hospital specific regulations/codes, e.g. DIN 1946 (Germany).
NOTE
A minimum fresh air exchange rate, related to the examination room volume of six (6) times per hour is recommended. Higher fresh air exchange rates might be required due to local regulations or the system usage. It is recommended that you install fresh air systems (100% fresh air intake)
maximum room temperature deviations should be less than 3 oC air current speed in locations used by personnel should be less than 0.2 m/second

NOTE
If you order a system cable set with more than 11.5m total cable length (inside the RF-room plus outside the RF-room) you have to order the required extension for the pressurized hoses separately!

System connections
NOTE
The cable set length identifies the "free cable length", this means from connection point to connection point! The cable length is not the distance between the components! You have to conciderate the cable feeding! Again, one important information is: The gradient cables inside the RF-cabin are 2m shorter then the other system cables: This means for example: If you have ordered cable set Nr. 1 (1.5/7m) the configuration could be as follows: Outside the RF-cabine: The electronics cabinet is positioned underneath the RF-filter plate attached to the RF-cabine wall. Inside the RF-cabine: The gradient cables are 5m (the rest of the cables is 7m). The gradient cables have to go from the filter plate 1.5m up into the ceiling and at the magnet side 1.5m down; this means the distance of the filter plate to the magnet is app. 2m!
NOTE
Separate the cables from each other. The gradient cables must be separated from the signal and RF cables 300mm. DO NOT COMBINE ALL CABLES TOGETHER
NOTE
In cases in which the standard cable sets (Harmony/Symphony/Sonata) can not be used (even after changing plans and shifting magnet and/or cabinets) we have the following solution: A 15m/5m (15m inside the RF-cabin; 5m outside the RF-cabine) can be ordered at the logistics department in Erlangen/Germany. The local PM will than get a paper to sign. (To make sure he knows that future options might not be able to be installed). The cost of this cable set is app. additional 20.000 EURO !

Explanation of the diagram:
System connections
It is necessary to have a router that can be left with the customer at no extra charge during the warranty period and beyond with a service agreement. The router remains the property of Siemens AG. Router shall be installed in a central location (e.g. hospital computer room to avoid physical access to the router for security reasons) Router can be connected to either the ISDN or analog connection.
Remote diagnostics and "Pro-active Event Management" require remote LAN access to our systems. A router is required for this which we provide to our customers at no charge during the warranty period and beyond that period if a service contract is concluded. The router remains the property of Siemens AG. The required telephone connection (preferably ISDN) and the power supply must be provided on site. Even if several Siemens systems are connected to the same data net, only a single central router is required. Of course, we observe the confidentiality of patient data in the framework of remote diagnostics and have provided security against access to it. Further information on the topic of data security can be found in the system-specific publications.

NOTE
The proper routing of the cables is absolutely important to achieve good image quality!
The total cable length consists of the cable length required between the components. The free cable length is the length between the exit points for the cables at the components.
NOTE
When planning the final location of the system components, do not exceed the maximum distance which is determined by the cable length. Take in consideration the required additional length for routing the cables e.g. through a cable tray at the ceiling.
NOTE
Adjust the openings (wall, ceiling) to the size of the cable connectors

- all international and/or national RF-guidelines for the prevention of RF-interferences caused by MR system operation have to be observed - interference-free operation of the MR system despite RF-interference in the operating frequency range of the installation has to be ensured. Route all electrical lines in the RF-room via RF filters.
Equip doors leading to the RF-room with a limit switch. To prevent extraneous electrical fields in the examination room, the following should not be installed
or used: - Telephone connections - Extensions for in-house intercom systems - Fluorescent lights - Energy saving light bulbs Refer to "On-site electrical installation" on page 4 - 1
The RF-integrity has to be tested and the filter plate must be installed after completion of the RF-room.
Requirements regarding RF-shielding.
NOTE
By using a suitable design as well as maintenance plan, the manufacturer of the cabin has to ensure that the following operate without fail: the door locking, especially the door handle and locking mechanism so as to secure continuous access to the patient in the examination room for emergency care and evacuation.
NOTE
For the Quench tube installation refer to the following chapter: "Quench Tube" on page 9 - 1.
The shell of the examination and magnet room has been completed The concrete has been covered with a vapor barrier for MR-suites located in the basement All openings have been made (door frames, view window, air intake and exhaust, etc.) If required, magnetic room shielding has been installed and prepared for attaching the

An opening in the RF room (see "Door opening direction / Pressure equalisation opening" on page 8 - 3) of 600mm x 600mm must be installed if the RF door opens to the inside of the examination room! This is mandatory! The opening of 600mm x 600mm is recommended even if the door opens to the outside.

NOTE
The opening direction of the RF-door has to be to the outside of the RF-room. As an alternative other appropriate means have to be provided in a way that pressure built up during a quench, when the venting fails to work adequately, will not prevent the RF door of the examination room from being opened. An opening in the RF room (see alternatives) of 600mm x 600mm must be installed if the RF door opens to the inside of the examination room! This is mandatory! The opening of 600mm x 600mm is recommended even if the door opens to the outside.
If your RF-room door opens to the inside, your RF-room manufacturer may be able to provide you with subsequent improvements. For new systems, the following are considered standard safety measures. We recommend to upgrade older systems to these standards.
The following alternatives are available:

- The door is reconfigured so that it opens to the outside into the control room. - The door is replaced with an RF-sealed sliding door. It should be ensured that the door closes in a way that allows it to move away from the frame in case of overpressure, that is, it facilitates opening the door. - The stationary observation window is replaced by a window opening into the control room. - Panels are installed in the RF-room or the door that can be unlocked and opened to the outside in case of emergency. These panels require an RF-sealed installation. After opening the panel, the outlet should measure at least 600 x 600 mm2 . When using rectangular panels, the shorter side should measure a minimum of 60m mm in length. To ensure unobstructed venting, this opening cannot be subdivided. This means that e.g. RF-sealed honeycomb grids are not permitted. Also, easy removal of the panel by a person has to be ensured. In addition, a minimum distance of 1 meter to the next wall needs to be observed. The panel should be installed as far as possible toward the top to allow escape of the low-density helium. - Your RF-room manufacturer can provide you with additional RF-sealed room openings that lead directly to the outside. However, these openings are also conduits for noise generated outside the RF-room. Again, these openings should be installed toward the top as far as possible to allow escape of the low-density helium. To maintain unobstructed flow through a pipe, the diameter of a 10 m long line has to measure at least 0.7 m. It is not permitted to use honeycomb grids in this line. For doors moved via auxiliary drives (e.g. electrical or pneumatic), manual operation has to be ensured as well. An outside window should be in the vicinity to allow venting exhausted gas to the outside. After completing the remodeling, the integrity of the RF-shielding has to be tested again. If included in the installation, the observation window may be pushed in. The window usually includes wiring for the RF-shielding that needs to be worked through as well. However, rescue personnel may be injured by the resulting glass splinters. Depending on the construction and the thickness of the window, the operator has to provide suitable tools for breaking the window.

RF-Room
NOTE
The air conditioning system for the examination room has to be a separate system with a direct air vent connection to the outside of the building.
NOTE
If required, the RF-room manufacturer has to perform a separate/additional RF attenuation measurement after the complete installation of the RF cabin (Magnet is positioned; RF filter plate is installed).
NOTE
To operate the MR-system, the RF-room has to be grounded at the points specified in the installation instructions. All other ground connections are unacceptable.
NOTE
The RF attenuation in the RF-room must be min. 90dB in the 15-128 MHz frequency range. The measured value (after installation of the RF-room on-site) must be stated in the handing over protocol of the RF-room manufacturer. A copy of this protocol has to be inserted into the system owners manual. All components of the RF-room and the interior fittings/accessories of the examination room have to be made from non-magnetizable material. Follow manufacturers specifications and instructions.

Information on medical gases
Only licensed firms (e.g., Drger) are permitted to perform installations. Up to now there were actually three ways of laying medical gas lines:
RF-Room
8
Pipes were comprised solely of plastic tubing and were introduced into the RF-room through a 76mm
feed-through. This is actually the simplest solution from a technical standpoint.
Complete line voltage supply in copper tubing within the hospital. Copper tubing also installed inside
the RF-room. The RF feed-through from the outside to the inside was established using the 76mm feed-through and synthetic tubing. In the area of the feed-throughs inside and outside of the RF room, inspection ports are required inside the suspended ceiling. Drger performed the installation of the copper tubing and the transition with plastic tubing.
Introducing the copper tubing directly into the RF-room via a RF-sealed copper tube. A type of
mounting plate upon which the necessary number of copper tubes of the appropriate diameter are located. In the majority of cases, diameters of 8, 10, 12, and 14mm are required for the gases, while diameters of 20 or 25mm are required for suction. RF integrity can be calculated precisely using the diameter and length of the tubing.

The following informations are important for a faultless operation of the imaging system!
Only non-magnetic materials are to be used and installed within the RF cabin. A suspended ceiling must be statically suspended, i.e., not suspended with movable clamps, springs,
etc.
Corrugated rods (e.g. for air conditioning systems) in suspended ceilings must be fastened securely
(galvanic contact between the corrugated rods must be guaranteed, not just lying on top of one another; a wire jumper between the rods might be useful).
Electrical wiring, e.g. for lights, must not be resting unsecured on the suspended ceiling.
NOTE If you expect noise problems the RF-Room manufacturer you are using might be able to deliver noise reduction components with the RF-room(e.g. interior; RF-window; RF-door etc.).
NOTE
Adhere to the manufacturers guidelines, specifications and/or installation manuals. Be aware to add the weight of the RF-Room and / or external iron shielding and / or noise reduction material into your static calculations!

Information summary for preparing / planning the RF room and interior

Inside the examination room the use of ferromagnetic materials/components is permitted! This is especially valid if replacable/not permanent fixed parts are used (e.g. lampholders; ventilation flaps). Those parts, if used, have to be secured safely to prevent them from being cought by the force of attraction of the magnet. Separate the gradient cables, RF cables and signal cables from each other. The distance between those three cable looms has to be min. 300mm. If necessary install additional cable trays. The cables have to be fixed to prevent them from mooving. In some countries it is not allowed to install water hoses in combination with electrical cables in the same cable duct.
General
Inside the examination room the use of ferromagnetic materials is NOT permitted NOTE
Cabling/Cable trays
Prepare the cable trays as required by your local codes The system connection have to be installed in a special way. NOTE
Ceiling
A suspended ceiling must be statically suspended. Not suspended with movable clamps, springs, etc. NOTE
Corrugated rods in suspended ceilings must be fastened securely (galvanic contact between the corrugated rods must be guaranteed, not just lying on top of one another; a wire jumper between the rods might be useful). Cable trays and the mounting brackets for the cable trays have to be fixed securely . All loose metal connections will end up in "Spikes". Additional materials e.g. for sound damping or thermal insulation have to be fixed propperly to prevent "Spikes". Metal materials (e.g. aluminium, copper, brass) have to be grounded to the RF room.
RF door
The RF door opening direction should be to the outside of the RF-room NOTE
The main RF-room entry door should open to the outside! This is for safety reasons in cases when a pressure built up inside the examination room occurs. If, e.g. due to constructional reasons, the door has to open to the inside as an alternative other appropriate means have to be provided in a way that pressure built up during a quench, when the venting fails to work adequately , will not prevent the RF door of the examination room from being opened
Quench vent
The qunch vent has to be installed as per requirements out of the Planning Guide NOTE
The quench vent/tube has to be installed like requested in the Qunch vent section of Planning Guide. The material for the quench vent has to be as requestet in the Quench vent section. The quench tube must be galvanical separated from the RF room.

A fringe field measurement and RF measurements after the complete installation can be ordered at some of the RF-room manufacturers as well.
NOTE
The RF room manufacturers ensure compliance with the specifications, e.g. 90 dB attenuation from 15 to 128 MHz of the installed RF-shielding (depending on the System operating frequency). The RF shielding will be tested by the manufacturer of the RF-room using special measurement devices after the RF room is installed. The test will be confirmed via a protocol which has to be filed in the customers logbook.

Quench Tube
General

In the event of a quench, the thermal energy dissipated causes an extremely rapid boil off of the liquid helium. The system must be capable of venting the large volume of gas generated at the approximate expansion ratio of 1:700 from liquid at 4.2 K to room temperature gas. The exhaust system is critical for the safe operation of the magnet, and the guidelines set out in this section must be followed. Since helium vented in a quench is an asphyxiant and an extremely cold gas, the quench tube must always end at a point where access by people is not possible. This is similar to venting dangerous gases in chimneys. Planning and installation of quench tubes must be conducted by qualified personnel. Note that components used for other tubing, e.g., in air conditioning or room venting, are generally not suitable for quench tube construction. It is the responsibility of the operator of the equipment to ensure that the quench tube pipe is maintained in an operable state.
NOTE
The quench tube design has to comply with the requirements specified in this document. It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to accept the installation of the quench tube before the magnet is connected!
NOTE
The quench tube outlet, as well as the quench tube, must be easily accessible for visual inspection!
Basis for design calculations
Calculating the pressure drop along the quench tube during a quench is complex due to the compressibility of gas and the heat inputs along the length of the tube, which affect the gas density. The sizing procedure relies upon tabulated data, which are used in simple arithmetic calculations. The tables are based on empirical data derived from quench test pressure loss measurement. An example of the sizing process is contained in the following section: "Quench tube sizing example" on page 9 - 15.

Quench tube components checklist
Quench Tube

The following specific design rules apply to the components making up the quench tube: 1. The quench tube will comprise straight, hydraulically smooth tube sections, bends (up to 90) and a diffuser if required (Fig. 8). The end of the tube must be terminated in a way to prevent ingress of rain, snow, and foreign objects (Fig. 1; Fig. 2). Flexible sections are used to connect to the magnet, and as expansion joints ("Principle layout of a quench tube example 1." on page 9 - 15). If a quench line is very short and straight, a flexible tube may be used for the whole of the quench line. Note however that due to the high pressure drop, the maximum permissible length of flexible tubes is very short as compared to straight tubes. 2. The quench tube must be made from a non-magnetic material. Only stainless steel grades AISI 304, 309, 316, and 321 [EN 1.4301, 1.4828, 1.4401, and 1.4878] may be used. 3. Due consideration must be given to thermal contraction (up to 3 mm/meter for stainless steel). Stainless steel bellows sections must be used to allow for adequate contraction. Bellows are to be fitted at a minimum of every 10 m. The movement of the bellows must be limited so that the pipe does not expand excessively under internal pressure.
NOTE
Flexible tubes and bellows may only be made of stainless steel. (For material grades see paragraph 2.)
The length of the bellows sections in total may not exceed 2% of the allowed maximum pipe length, in order that the pipe pressure drop does not increase excessively. The weight of the tube must be supported against the building. In order that the line suspension is not overstressed due to the thermal contraction, the suspension needs to be flexible enough to accommodate the movements. Also, the wall exit in general should not be fixed hard to the wall. The maximum internal pressure of the pipe in the design calculations is 0.1 bar. The maximum permissible pressure, however, needs to be 0.45 bar. The quench line has to be constructed in accordance with sound engineering practice. 4. There must be a flexible section at the quench valve in order to reduce noise transmission, ease the fitting of the quench tube, and so that the quench valve does not carry any load from the weight of the quench tube. The flexible section at the quench tube should be about 0,3m to 0,5m in length, the internal diameter must be at least 0.102 m (4"). It is to be made of stainless steel, and has to be able to withstand a maximum permissible pressure of 0.45 bar over atmosphere. The flexible section has to be installed nominally straight, i.e., to allow for minor misalignment. It must not be bent in a way to replace an elbow. The length of this section should be accounted for according to Tab. 2. 5. Joints may only be made by welding (by stainless steel qualified welders), or by bolted flanges. Rotary flanges are permitted to ease the installation process. Vee clamped flanges may not be used. Gaskets used to seal section joints are to be made of either UHMW-PE [Cestilene HD1000, Hostalen GC579, or Hostalen GUR812], PTFE [BS EN 13000-1:1998, BS EN 13000-2:1998], or fiber [ASTM F36, BS 7531, DIN 3754P]. No other materials are permitted.

Quench Tube

6. The end of the quench pipe must be protected from outside elements such as rain or snow. It will be fitted with a wire mesh. The mesh size is to be 101 mm [3/8"], with 1 mm round wires, to prevent ingress of foreign bodies [e.g., birds and rodents]. The area of the mesh must be at least 2.5 times the cross-section area of the quench tube (Fig. 2).
NOTE
The area of the mesh must be at least 2.5 times the cross-section area of the quench tube.
7. Where the quench tube exits through a flat roof, the outlet must be above a level where water could enter it in the event of the roof drains becoming blocked. Where the quench tube exits vertically, a rain shield must be fitted(Fig. 1). A deflector plate must be welded to the tube where it exits the roof to prevent helium from re-entering the building (Fig. 1). The deflector plate must be at least the same diameter as the rain guard. It must be located at least two pipe diameters above the roof, and two diameters below the bottom of the rain guard. In the case of a horizontal exit through a wall, the outlet must be turned down by not less than the pipe diameter to prevent rain ingress (Fig. 1). The exit must be situated where it cannot be blocked by drifting snow.
NOTE
Only the examples of pipe exits in this guide may be used.
8. To avoid the risk of injury from cold burns and asphyxiation, access to the quench tube must be restricted by 3 m each side and below, and 6 m vertically above the exit; warning signs must be put up (Fig. 1). The exit must not be situated where, in case of a quench, helium gas might be drawn into an air inlet, or where gas might enter open windows. Note that helium is lighter than air, even when very cold. The cold gas must not be allowed to blow directly onto a window.
NOTE
Where windows are within the restricted access area, they must be sealed and permanently closed. Means of opening the windows must be removed.
9. All bends must be smooth walled and have a centerline radius to internal pipe diameter ratio in the range 1.5 to 5.0. Where a one-piece bend is not readily available, a fabricated bend using straight sections is permissible (Fig. 6). 10. Mitred elbows (Fig. 7) may be used, but be aware of the much greater equivalent length (Tab. 3), which makes them very unfavorable. 11. Expansion from a small to a large tube diameter will be accomplished using a diffuser. Diffusers will conform to the geometric parameters shown in Fig. 8. Never reduce the diameter of a line in the downstream direction.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04
9-4
Quench Tube
12. The pipe is to be insulated along its full length. This is to avoid condensation of liquid air in case of a quench, as well as water condensation on the inside in humid weather conditions. A double-walled structure is allowed. Mineral fiber insulation (brands such as Rockwool Ductwrap or other) must not be less than 25 mm thick. The insulation must conform to local regulations for fibrous insulation materials. Within the RF room, the pipe is to be insulated with one layer of mineral fiber insulation 25 mm thick with vapor barrier, covered with one layer of 25 mm thick Class O Armaflex [Armacell]. Vapor barriers must not make electrical contact between the magnet pipework and the wave guide, in order to avoid RF disturbance to the imaging system. The outside may be covered with an aesthetic finish. Outdoor pipes must be covered if access cannot be excluded at the pipe or below (dripping liquid air in case of a quench). Outside insulation must be weatherproof [e.g., Armafinish FR paint, or Arma-Chek insulation]. 13. The pipe must be marked along its length with a warning tape stating its function, e.g.,
"WARNING: Vent pipe for extremely cold helium gas - work only by authorized personnel."
14. In order to achieve galvanic separation between the imaging system, the RF room (cabin), and the building, two galvanic separations are required. The separation at the magnet has to be made at the magnet exhaust flange, using stainless steel bolts, insulating bushes and locking nuts. The same principle is to be used outside the cabin.
NOTE
For safety reasons, no other designs are permitted.
15. The quench tube design has to comply with the requirements specified in this document. It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to accept the installation of the quench tube before the magnet is connected. 16. Documentation:
NOTE
The design and construction of the quench pipe needs to be documented in drawings and calculations, and kept with the installation documents.

Sizing procedure
The sizing procedure for the quench tube must follow the steps outlined below.
Quench Tube

1. Define the length of the flexible tube to be used (typically 0.5 m). Calculate the share of the maximum permissible length used by the flexible tube (Tab. 2). 2. Determine the approximate length of tube required to reach from the flexible tube to the end of the quench tube, where it exits to atmosphere. In terms of the pressure loss along the tube during a quench, the apparent length of the tube is longer due to the extra frictional losses around the bends. As a first approximation, pick a diameter from Tab. 1, Tab. 2. 3. Layout line with bend elbows. Check bend radius to diameter ratio for all elbows (Fig. 6; Fig. 7) 4. The apparent length (LA) is calculated as LA = L1 + L2 +...+ Lm + E1 + E2 +...+ En, where L1..m are the straight lengths and E1..n are the effective bend loss lengths from table Tab. 3. 5. Check whether the resulting LA is within the limit allowed in Tab. 1, Tab. 2. If the line is longer than allowed, go to a larger diameter and repeat steps 2,3 and 4. 6. Determine the correct length for a diffuser, if required. 7. Determine the required size for the protective rain guard. 8. If there is a need to use more than one diameter for the line, calculate the percentages of the maximum permissible tube lengths for each diameter from table Tab. 1, Tab. 2. The sum of all percentages, including the flexible section at the magnet needs to remain below 100%.

It is determined that the quench tube will need to be about 12 metres in length. The tube includes two elbows. A 0.102m (4") flexible tube of the length Lf = 0.5m connects the quench tube to the outlet of the quench valve (Fig. 9).

Quench Tube
1. From Tab. 2 the permissible length of 0.102m (4") flexible tube is 1.92m. A 0.5m long tube accounts for 0.5m/1.92m = 26% of the total permissible length. 2. The required 12 metres of the quench tube should not exceed the remaining 74% of the total permissible length. Take 12m * 100% / 74% = 16.2 m. From Tab. 1 select a diameter for the tube that will contain the length required. In this case 0.52m (6") gives a maximum permissible length of 28 metres. 3. Check if bend radius to diameter ratio is larger than 1.5 (Fig. 6). A commercially available smooth walled elbow has an R/D ratio of 2. It can be used for bend 1. It is necessary to use a tighter elbow for bend 2. Since a one piece pipe is not available it is decided that a 5 segment fabricated pipe will be used where R/D = 1.5. The effective lengths are taken from Tab. 3.

5. The apparent length of 15.73m should take less than 74% of the permissible length. Take 15.73m * 100% / 74% = 21.26m. This is less than the maximum permissible length of 28m (Tab. 1) and the pipe size selected is acceptable. 6. A diffuser is required to connect the 0.102m outlet on the quench valve to the 0.152m ID pipe. From Fig. 8 the length of the diffuser is 0.128m min. The longer the diffuser the better so in this instance because space permits, a diffuser 1 metre long is used. It is acceptable to count the diffuser length to the straight length.

Cryogen supply
General
10
10 - 1
10
For satisfactory operation of the MR system, liquid as well as gaseous helium is required. Because of the physical characteristics and the price of liquid helium, the cryogen has to be handled according to the special instructions given in the subsequent pages. As early as in the planning phase, the structural and logistic aspects of gas supply for the MR system have to be established. The liquid helium is transported in containers especially designed for this purpose (dewars).
NOTE
Every reputable supplier provides liquid helium dewars of non-magnetizable material. However, cylinders for gaseous helium are usually made from magnetic material. These cylinders must remain outside the vicinity of the magnet when it is energized.
Structural requirements
10
Since the vessel dimensions for liquid and gaseous helium must meet certain specifications, the following issues have to be clarified with the supplier prior to delivery: 1. Access routes 2. Width of doors 3. Size of elevators 4. Height of rooms and hallways 5. Temporary and permanent storage area for gas cylinders 6. Load capacity and condition of transport routes
NOTE
To move the Helium dewars into the MR-suite, evaluate the height and width of all access routes and doorways during the planning phase.

Transport methods for helium
Cryogen supply
10
Liquid helium is transported from the supplier to the magnet in dewars holding between 100 to 450 liters of liquid helium. The dewars are transported in special trucks equipped with an elevator platform. Special containers are available for air-freighting liquid helium.
Dimensions of the dewars
10
After the transport routes have been determined, the dewars and the refill equipment required have to be established. The following items require clarification: 1. Dimension and fill capacity of dewars? 2. Pressurized or non-pressurized dewar? 3. Supplier provides a full set of refill equipment? 4. The syphon attaches to the magnet? The following suppliers provide a full set of refill equipment: - Linde AG - Messergriesheim GmbH - Air Products GmbH
Delivery of magnet
The magnet is shipped cold (standard case).
10
10
NOTE
Magnets that are shipped cold leave the factory with a fill level of approx. 70%. To keep helium boil-off to a minimum, the refrigerator (cold head) should be put in operation as soon as the magnet arrives at the site.
The magnet is shipped warm (exception).

The magnet is cooled on-site with - approx. 2000 l liquid nitrogen - approx. 3500 l liquid helium - approx. 10 He cylinders (200 bar / 50 l / 99.99% grade 4 purity) The liquid cryogenic should be available on-site at the time planned for start-up of the magnet.
10
NOTE
Special equipment is required for filling the magnet. Technical support as well as equipment (pumps, leak tester, flange, etc.) are available from OMT. To avoid start-up delays, clarify the logistics and technical details pertaining to deliveries of warm magnets in advance.

Options
11
When the In-room MRC is installed a transformer has to be installed inside the examination room at the filter plate. A special position with already prepared bolts on the filter plate is prepared. If due to any reason (e.g. sound reduction; thick wall) the cutout in the wall/sound reduction construction for the filter plate is exactly the same dimensions as the outer dimension of the filter plate the transformer can not be mounted to the filter plate! The transformer has to be mounted in this case in the close vicinity of the RF filter of the filter plate. The cable length is 700mm.

The foots witch / kneeling chair allows starting and stopping selected sequences at the MR system. The push button contains no electronics and transmits signals to a converter via air pressure.
Components
The foots witch consists of two components: - Foots witch (kneeling chair optional) The foots witch is located in the RF cabin. It has two buttons "Start" and "Stop". The signals are transmitted pneumatically to the converter via two air hoses. - Signal converter The converter is located at the back side of the MR operating console. It converts the pneumatic signals of the foots witch or kneeling chair into electrical signals that are transmitted to the host computer via a RS232 interface and the adapter card.
11
Contents of the kit - foots witch (kneeling chair optional) - signal converter - hose assembly, 35m - RS232 interface cable - accessories (mounting material, power cable, connector, feed-through plate)

NOTE: If there is a MRSC console installed, the Powerware PW 9125 2000 UPS will not supply the MRSC PC! A standard PC UPS can be installed to supply the MRSC PC.
Powerware PW 9125-2000 UPS for the MRC-Host computer
Application
With a static UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) the system computer can be protected against all types of line disturbances. In most cases, the local power supply is sufficiently reliable for satisfactory operation. Modern processor-controlled devices, however, require highly reliable sources of power. The Powerware 2000 satisfies this requirement. The Powerware 2000 is the standard UPS for backing up only the MRC Host PC and Imager PC.

POWER CONDITIONING DEVICES NOT APPROVED BY Siemens Medical Solutions MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MAGNETOM SYSTEM. SUCH DEVICES ARE INSTALLED AND APPLIED AT THE CUSTOMER'S RISK. In countries where the power supply is not reliable, UPS systems are used to supply the required power to the MR system, and in special cases to the chiller, when there are power interruptions or power failures. When there is a power failure, the UPS backup allows the MR system to be shut down normally or supplies power to the MR system during the time required to transfer to an emergency power supply. This allows you to complete measurements that have already been started. The UPS offers the additional advantage of reducing system downtime due to hardware and software errors.
Special power requirements if the on-site power is provided through a UPS system
11
The following table gives values, which should be used to select a suitable UPS system under the condition, that the water chiller is not connected to the UPS. If the water chiller should be connected to the same UPS, the required values power/current (the maximum possible value, e.g. switch-on current) for the chiller should be added to the values given below. In this case the chiller must be equipped with soft start compressors.

Momentary Power during measurement sequences (< 5 sec.). The factor in this column is defined according experiments with specific UPS model series. The factor may vary according to manufacturer and model series, the minimum factor applied should be 1.20. If the UPS model series is not released by the factory (see list below) a qualification procedure is recommended.
3)
NOTE
During the switch on procedure high current pulse amplitudes are possible. During this pulse the UPS may switch into by-pass mode. The switch-time between battery mode and by-pass mode should be less than 1 ms. The UPS should fulfill local regulations additional to the above listed requirements.

During transport, the components are subject to mechanical stress. The recommended reference values for various mechanical environmental parameters are specified in IEC 721-3-2 (Transport) and IEC 721-3-5 (Load in Road Vehicles). However, these reference values significantly exceed the acceleration rates measured on loaded trucks with an air suspension system. According to experts who routinely perform vibration experiments in test labs, the guidelines of IEC 721 cannot be practically applied to components with mass ratios such as those found in MR systems. With regard to impact loads, the maximum acceleration duration on the loaded trucks with an impact duration of 20ms is 1.4g on the tractor and 4.7g on the trailer. Our current specification for the magnet is 2g horizontally (x, y) and 5g vertically (z).

Vehicle suspension requirements
Introduction
15 - 11
15
15
Vehicles must be equipped with suspension systems that effectively control and dissipate the energy from road inputs without subjecting the equipment to high levels of vibration. This may be achieved by the selection of appropriate suspension systems for the trailer and tractor unit that meet the performance standard detailed below, and by ensuring that they are maintained to an appropriate standard. For vibration data analysis contact "Safe technology Ltd." at the following address:
Address of "Safe Technology" Ltd.

No 1 Southwest center Archer Road Sheffield S80JR England Contact person: Prof. John Draper (Managing Director) Phone: ++44 (0) 1142 555919
Requirements
without excessive shock loads caused by bump stop impact.
15
For all vehicles, the suspension system should have sufficient travel to respond to normal road inputs The suspension system must also meet the following requirements:
Requirement
The natural frequency at which the trailer bounces as a rigid body on the suspension must not exceed: When new, the level of damping provided by the suspension must exceed:
Value
2.0 Hz 12% critical damping
In service, the level of damping provided by the sus12% critical damping pension must exceed:
The trailer manufacturer is responsible for defining the minimum specification of tractor unit to be used
with the trailer in meeting and maintaining the suspension characteristics specified above for type test and in service use.
The trailer manufacturer is responsible for defining a suitable regular maintenance protocol to
maintain the critical damping performance specified above for in service use.
The trailer manufacturer or their authorized third party representative will provide necessary
documentation to prove the compliance with the vehicle suspension requirements in accordance with "Mobile trailer manufacturer documentation" on page 15 - 2
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04

Instrumentation Systems

15
The instrumentation shall be installed in the vehicle to record the vertical acceleration of the trailer
structure at or close to the following locations on the vehicle centre line - At the front of the trailer - At the rear of the trailer
Measurement locations must be selected to give an accurate indication of the movement of the trailer
structure, and accelerometers should be attached on the main trailer frame or load bearing structure.
The instrumentation system must be calibrated and capable of recording acceleration data in the
frequency range of 0 20 Hz. If a digital recording system is used, the sampling rate must be greater than 100 Hz.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04

Data to be recorded
15 - 13
15
Acceleration data shall be recorded as the vehicle passes over the speed hump in a straight line, at
the speeds detailed below: - 5 kph - 10 kph - 15 kph
Data shall be recorded for at least 3 seconds before the front axle strikes the speed hump and until
any significant bouncing of the trailer structure has been reduced to a negligible level by the effect of suspension damping, or for a period of 10 seconds.
A minimum of 5 recordings shall be made at each speed, and the data stored for detailed analysis.
Data Analysis
Data analysis shall be conducted using an appropriate data analysis system based on the technique
detailed in the Analysis Algorithm shown in Fig. 9.
15
Demonstration of Compliance Type Test

The performance of vehicle suspension systems must be evaluated using the procedure detailed in
section "Requirements" on page 15 - 11 of this document.
15
Trailers not meeting this specification which are consequently commissioned and enter service will
immediately invalidate OMT product warranty.
For any subsequent modifications to the trailer type, a documented engineering change process must
be implemented between the MRI system manufacturer and the trailer manufacturer, which ensures that a form, fit and function philosophy, is implemented. Within this process any engineering changes likely to affect the performance of the trailer against section "Requirements" on page 15 - 11 of this document shall require an additional type test.
In respect of any claim against OMT product warranty, OMT reserves the right to review the build
standard of any specific trailer operating with OMT product within the trailer, against the build standard of the type test trailer and associated results. Should build standard differences be noted, OMT reserves the right, prior to supporting any claim against OMT product warranty, to require the test outlined in section "Requirements" on page 15 - 11 of this document to be repeated for the specific trailer in question to ensure that the In service specification is being met.

Mobile road requirements

15
NOTE
When moving the trailer from one site to another site the magnet stays at maximum field strength. A magnet power supply for ramping the magnet is not part of the overall system volume.
NOTE
The trailer has to be labeled indicating the presence of a static magnetic field.
NOTE
The generator for the cold head assembly power and cooling water has to be in operation during transport. This will guarantee a normal He boil-off during transportation. If the generator/shore power is not left running/connected the refrigeration system may fail prematurely.
Environmental conditions
15
For the MR-system built into the trailer the environmental conditions as specified in this
document at the following specific registers and the complete Planning Guide have to be used as a reference:
"On-site electrical installation" on page 4 - 1; "On-site water supply" on page 5 - 1; "Air conditioning" on page 6 - 1; "Quench Tube" on page 9 - 1 "RF-Room" on page 8 - 1
NOTE
The specifications must be achieved by the on board air conditioner, water chiller, humidifier and electrical power supply.
NOTE
If required an auxiliary heater and pump will be used to prevent freezing damage from occurring to the system electronics in the event of a generator malfunction.
M1-010.891.01 Rev. 09 07/04

Air Conditioning

15
The trailer manufacturer must provide written certification to Siemens that the air conditioner(s) will: - Operate in cool mode over an ambient temperature range of -29C/+ 41C without introduction of outside air. - Automatically cycle between heating and cooling modes without operator intervention.
NOTE
The air conditioning requirements as described in register "Air conditioning" on page 6 - 1 have to be maintained throughout the MR trailer.
The capacity of the mobiles air conditioner unit(s) has to be based upon: Heat dissipation by the MAGNETOM MR system (refer to "Air conditioning" on page 6 - 1) support equipment dissipation to air (e.g. UPS., etc.) Average heat dissipation by personnel and patient during system operation. (App. 0.2kw/h) Heat dissipation of room lighting & additional electrical support equipment Heat generated by Solar Energy gain.
NOTE
It is recommended to add app. 25% to the estimated maximum air conditioning capacity required.
15
Additional specifications
