ASTM labeling guidlines for all portable devices
Hello All,
I am currently working though some safety issues we are have having at the hospital where I oversee MRI. It is the wish of the radiologist per the ASTM standard supported by the AJR (ASTM F2503)that "items that may be brought into the MR environment be permanently marked to indicate the MR invironment to which a specific item may safely be exposed" Our radiologist want every IV pole, pump, respiratory device - anything that might end up near the MR - be labeled. I am wondering is anyone else doing the same thing?

The rule in our dept is every object with the potential of entering the MRI enviroment be labeled as safe or unsafe. The standard rule is known through out the hospital is if it is not labeled to ASK the MRI technologist on duty BEFORE bringing it into the MRI enviroment. No one person or object gets brought in without prior screening.
Old rule if you don't know: DON'T ASSUME! ASK!
