To activate the system, press and hold the System ON/OFF button for 2 seconds until you are signaled both acoustically and visually. The syngo Acquisition Workplace software will start automatically. If a M R Workplace is present, turn the System On at the intercom first, then switch the Power ON button at the computer. The power supply is separate from the syngo acquisition workplace. MR_Flow_OLT_4.2.3._prep3.wav Step 3: System Check. Look for the System Check icon on the Home Screen. A red icon indicates the need to review the Message History for the M R Scanner and Acquisition and to potentially contact Siemens Healthineers Service. If the icon is green, the system indicates readiness for operation. MR_Flow_OLT_4.2.4._prep4.wav Step 4: Table Stop. Ensure that all Table Stop buttons, located at the intercom and on the patient table, are functioning correctly and can immediately stop the table movement. Remember, the Table Stop button must be reset on the component where it was activated. MR_Flow_OLT_4.2.5._prep5.wav Step 5: Patient Communication. Confirm that pressing the squeeze bulb activates the patient alert. Test the intercom for functionality, including patient communication, LED indicators, and sound. Also, verify that the patient video monitoring system is transmitting images correctly. MR_Flow_OLT_4.2.6._prep6.wav Step 6: Final Check. Once all checks have successfully been completed, you are ready to begin scanning. If the system check on the Home Screen displays a red cross or a warning icon, indicating errors, consult the message box in the bottom right part of the screen for details. Should you encounter issues, such as those related to magnet cooling, contact Siemens Healthineers Service for support. Please refrain from performing any preliminary examination steps, such as moving the table or connecting coils, while the system is starting up. 6 Final check If everything is checked successfully, you can start scanning. If the system check on the Home Screen is marked by a red cross or by a warning icon, indicating errors, check the messages from the message box in the bottom right part of the screen. If there is, for example, an issue relating to magnet cooling, contact Siemens Healthineers Service for support. Please note: Do not perform any preliminary examination steps, for example, moving the table and/or connecting coils while starting up the system. Step 5 – Patient communication 5 Check the intercom functionalities (e.g., patient communication, LED, sound). Check that the patient video monitoring system transmit images properly. Verify that pressing the squeeze bulb triggers the patient alert. Step 4 – Table Stop 4 Check all Table Stop buttons to ensure they can immediately stop the table movement (i.e., on the intercom and at the patient table). Please note: The Table Stop button must always be reset on the component on which it was activated. Step 3 – System check 3 Look for the System Check icon on the Home Screen. If it's red, review the Message History - MR Scanner and Acquisition and contact Siemens Healthineers Service. Otherwise wait until the system is ready for operation as shown by the System Check icon on the Home Screen. Step 2 – System ON 2 To turn ON the system, press and hold the System ON/OFF button for 2 seconds until you receive an acoustic and visual signal. The software automatically starts at the syngo Acquisition Workplace. Please note: If a MR Workplace is present, turn the system on at the intercom first, then switch the Power ON button at the computer. The power supply is separate from the syngo Acquisition Workplace. Step 1 – Safety-related checks 1 Before using the MR system, it’s always important to observe the trained safety measures and to check the functionality and cleanliness of certain parts and areas (e.g., examination room, control room, etc.). Please note: The general safety instructions provided in the safety online training material needs to be taken into account. In addition, please refer to the detailed checklist in the Safety Information JobAid for the Flow.Platform. ? Please watch the video detailing the individual process steps for the patient-side workflow. Preparation of the patient Video with Text MR_Flow_OLT_4.3._video.wav Please watch the video detailing the individual process steps for the patient-side workflow. VIDEO: QR700005633 Finalizing steps Select the tab arrows to learn more about the different options. After the examination is finished and the patient has left, remove the coils carefully and clean the device to be prepared for the next use. If no further examinations are required, the device can be switched off in various ways: Shutting down in the software Switching OFF at the Intercom Standby mode in the software ? Shut Down the System MR_Flow_OLT_4.4._Finalizing steps.wav After completing the examination and once the patient has left, remove the coils carefully and clean the device in preparation for the next use. If no further examinations are scheduled, the device can be switched off using various methods: Shutting down using the software interface, switching off at the intercom, or entering standby mode in the software. Use the tab arrows to learn more about each option. MR_Flow_OLT_4.4.1._tab1.wav Tab 1 Shutting down your MR system using the software interface. First, ensure that all workflows, examinations, and applications are saved and closed at your workplace. Navigate to the Home screen and select the Shutdown icon. A dialog box will appear; here, you should choose "Shut Down System." This action not only turns off the system but also activates the power-saving mode for the MR cooling system. It's important to remember that shutting down the system will also power off the host and the MARS, which means no further measurements or image evaluations can be conducted on the MR system until it is restarted. MR_Flow_OLT_4.4.2._tab2.wav Tab 2 Switching off at the Intercom: For instances where the MR system needs to be turned off completely for an extended period, the intercom provides a solution. To switch off the MR system, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds. You will know the process has been initiated by an acoustic and visual signal. This action will also terminate the software at the syngo Acquisition Workplace. If the system is not responding, a forced hard shutdown can be initiated by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for 13 seconds. MR_Flow_OLT_4.4.3._tab3.wav Tab 3 Standby mode: If your schedule does not include measurements for a considerable time, or you only need to edit or evaluate images, consider using the Standby mode to conserve energy. In Standby mode, the MARS is shut down, while the host and the MR cooling system's power-saving mode are activated. Please note that measurements cannot be performed in this mode. To enter Standby mode, select it from the shutdown icon options. To exit Standby mode, you can either select "Wake up System" from the same menu or press the ON/OFF button on the intercom for 2 seconds. Standby mode in the software If you doesn´t perform measurements for a longer period of time or only edit or evaluate images, you can save energy by enabling the Standby mode. You can select the Standby System mode from the shutdown icon options. Please note: The MARS shuts down. The host and the power saving mode of the MR cooling system switch on. You cannot perform measurements in Standby mode. ? You can end the Standby System mode by selecting Wake up System from the Shutdown icon options or pressing the ON/OFF button on the intercom for 2 seconds. Switching OFF at the Intercom If the MR system should be switched off completely for a lengthy period of time, you can switch the MR system off at the intercom. Press the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds until you receive an acoustic and visual signal. The software automatically ends at the syngo Acquisition Workplace as well. If the system is unresponsive, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 13 seconds to force a hard shutdown. ? Shutting down in the software Save and close all workflows, examinations and applications at the workplace. Select the Shutdown icon on the Home screen >> Shut Down System. Please note: If you switch off the system, the MARS and the host will shut down. Therefore no measurements or image evaluation will be possible on the MR system. This shutdown only activates the power saving mode of the MR cooling system. ? Course Review, Disclaimer and Assessment ? Course review Congratulations.
