2 General System Level
2.1 System Level Requirements for Installing into
Existing MR Suite
When planning for the installation of this system in an existing GE Healthcare MR suite or a non-GE
Healthcare MR suite, all requirements in this manual must be met because these rooms are considered
new installations.
1. If the existing MR suite contains a GE system, the vibration environmental assessment must be
done using the High Speed (magnetic eld) Stability tool.
NOTE
The customer may have to hire a vibration consultant based on the results of the
analysis.
2
2. Structural vibration levels may be higher at some frequencies than other MR Systems, which may
increase acoustic levels. Refer to 2.5 Structure-borne Vibration Control Specications on page 22.
3. The VibroAcoustic damping kit must be surface mounted (if the oor is recessed, it must be lled in
and level).
4. Ensure the existing Magnet Room size meets the minimum room size requirement and there is
enough space left for service at both sides of the magnet. Refer to MR Suite Minimum Room Size
Requirements on page 17.
5. RF vendor responsibilities:
a. The old dock anchor cannot be reused. It must be removed and the hole lled in. The new
anchor is reset after the magnet is installed. For upgrades that reuse the existing magnet,
contact the PMI for further details about the potential reuse of the old dock anchor.
b. Two penetration panel openings are required and must meet the requirements in: RF Shielded
Room Requirements, 5850260.
c. RF shield attenuation must comply with: RF Shielded Room Requirements, 5850260
6. Cryogen vent may need to be relocated to align with the Magnet Cryogen Vent opening. The
cryogen vent must meet all cryogen venting requirements (see Magnet Room Venting Requirements,
5850263).

2.5 Structure-borne Vibration Control Specications
Structure-borne acoustic issues tend to occur at MR installations above the ground oor of the facility.
Two options to mitigate structure-borne acoustic transmission are:
1. GE Healthcare provides a VibroAcoustic Damping kit (which must be surface mounted). Contact the
GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation for information.
2. The customer may design and implement a custom solution in addition to the VibroAcoustic
Damping kit. See Figure 2-6 Vibration Transmitted through VibroAcoustic Mat on page 22 for the
plot of spectral vibration transmitted through the VibroAcoustic mat into the oor. If required, the
customer should consult an acoustic engineer for a solution to further attenuate this transmitted
vibration).
NOTE
The amount of vibration attenuation provided by the VibroAcoustic Damping kit will be site
dependent.

2.6.2 Interference from Changing Magnetic Fields
Metal objects moving within the magnet sensitivity lines can produce a eld disturbance during clinical
imaging. If the metal object is moving it will produce a uctuating dipole type of eld which causes image
artifacts. As an example, a car driven inside the moving metal line will act as a dipole and produce a time
varying eld which changes the magnet's main eld during the scanning. The same vehicle may park
within the moving metal line and remain parked during clinical scanning without impact to the main
eld.

The customer must balance the cost of cryogens and local controls with the cost of emergency backup
facility coolant. There are two options for emergency backup, either total ICC backup or Cryocooler
Compressor backup.
The facility may provide an optional emergency backup coolant supply in one of the following
congurations:
Customer provided temporary backup water cooling is allowed for the Shield/Cryo Cooler Compressor
Cabinet if chiller or ICC were to experience a fault and stop operating. The backup compressor cooling
design can utilize open loop city water only as temporary backup during loss of the closed loop water
from the LCS18 or ICC. Long term use of open loop cooling systems will not allow a chemical equilibrium
establishment and eventually contribute to failure.
NOTE
It is recommended to discharge remaining coolant in the compressor before switching back
to the normal cooling. Dispose of coolant in accordance with local regulations.
1. Total ICC backup:
a. The facility is responsible for the connection of all hoses of a backup system.
b. Coolant must meet all other ICC coolant requirements listed in 2.9.1 Integrated Cooling Cabinet
(ICC) Coolant Requirements-Type B Conguration on page 37.
2. Cryocooler Compressor backup only:
Backup coolant may be routed to the ICC backup water port for the Cryocooler compressor at the

(For Type D Conguration)The emergency backup water should be connected to the compressor directly.
Switching the Shield/Cryo Cooler Compressor inlet/outlet cooling from the 18 kW chiller to a temporary
water backup supply will result in approximately 5.5 liters (1.5 gallons) of deionized water being
discharged. This discharge may have site impacts due to local regulatory codes. Make sure to
understand and follow local regulatory requirements when designing and implementing a temporary
backup water system. The design of the change over equipment from 18 kW chiller to city water and
vise versa must not allow contamination of the closed loop system in the 18 kW chiller.
1. Customer is responsible to provide the hoses, clamps and valves for emergency backup water to
accommodate GE supplied hoses (inner diameter 12.5mm (0.5 in.), outer diameter 19.8mm (0.78
in.) ).
2. Figure 2-18 Cryocooler Water Cooling Requirements on page 41 shows the coolant ow rate and
temperature requirements for the Cryocooler Compressor.

3 Magnet Room
3.1 Magnet Room Introduction
The Magnet Room is best understood as a series of layers, or “rooms within a room.” Each of these
rooms has a specic function and associated requirements. All requirements in this chapter must be
followed to ensure safe and correct operation of the MR System.
1. The Magnetic shielded room contains the MR Magnet fringe eld within a conned space. A
site survey is required to determine magnet shield requirements (not all sites require magnetic
shielding). Because of the added cost of magnetic shielding, room location should be carefully
considered.
2. The Acoustic room is a layer used to help attenuate the noise produced during a scan. An acoustic
engineer is strongly recommended to assess the environment.
3. The RF shielded room is critical to the correct MR System operation. RF shielding prevents
interaction of external RF radiation with MR System operation and it also prevents MR System
RF radiation from interfering with external systems, such as aircraft control. Special care must be
used when installing all xtures penetrating the RF shield (for example, vents, electrical conduit,
penetration panels) to ensure the integrity of the RF shield is maintained. Refer to RF Shielded RoomRequirements, 5850260.
3
4. The Finished room includes the wall coverings, ceiling tile, ceiling grid, other xtures, Magnet (MAG)
and Patient Table (PT). When planning the nished room, ensure the following:
a. All building codes are met (such as maintaining egress routes).
b. Items which may generate or create RF interference (including orescence lighting) are not
allowed for installation within the Magnet Room.
c. Customer is responsible for the selection and installation of all locally required safety devices
(for example, smoke detectors, oxygen monitors, and so on).
d. Smoke detectors should be located outside of the Magnet Room (for example, within the
return air duct) whenever possible. If code does not allow this, use only simple two wire
non-addressable smoke detectors in the Magnet Room.
e. Ferrous or metallic items which could become projectiles when the magnet is installed
(including wall coverings, ceiling tile, ceiling grid, or other xtures) are not used or are correctly
secured.

3.2 Magnet Room Structural Requirements
3.2 Magnet Room Structural Requirements
This section lists the structural requirements that must be considered when performing site evaluation
and planning of the Magnet Room.
3.2.1 Overview
1. When preparing a building plan or evaluating a potential site for an MR System, take care to
ensure the MR suite will not interact with the surrounding environment (that is, magnetic, acoustic,
environmental steel, and vibration).
2. The customer is responsible for vibration testing required to verify suitability of a proposed site. All
test results and any questions regarding testing, results, or analysis must be forwarded to the GE
Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI).
3.2.2 Environmental Steel Limits
A static magnetic eld extends in a three-dimensional space around the magnet isocenter.
Environmental steel within the static magnetic eldaects the uniformity (or homogeneity) of the
eld. Field uniformity is critical to both image quality and chemical shift analysis (spectroscopy). An
analysis of the environmental steel is required within a 3 m (9.84 ft.) spherical radius of the magnet
isocenter. Environmental steel includes pipes, beams, concrete rebar, or any other structural steel in the
oors, walls, or ceiling.
The following oor items must be limited per Table 3-1 Steel Mass Limits to Magnet Isocenter (3 x 3 m
(10 x 10 ft.) Area Under Magnet) on page 59.
1. Non-movable steel construction material such as rebar and metal decking
2. Existing or proposed RF/magnetic shielding or shim plates
3. Table 3-1 Steel Mass Limits to Magnet Isocenter (3 x 3 m (10 x 10 ft.) Area Under
Magnet) on page 59denes the limits of use as a guideline to help the customer understand
allowable amounts of ferrous rebar, steel decking, or other components as they design the MR suite
and Magnet Room oor structure.
4. The customer must provide detail dening ferrous material below the magnet to the Project
Manager so the GE Healthcare MR Siting and Shielding (MRSS) team can review for compliance.

3.2.3 Vibration Requirements
Excessive vibration can aect MR image quality. Vibration testing must be performed early in the
site planning process to ensure vibration is minimized. Both steady state vibration (exhaust fans, air
conditioners, pumps, and so on) and transient vibrations (trac, pedestrians, door slamming, and so on)
must be assessed (see 3.2.3 Vibration Requirements on page 59). Specic requirements for vibration
mitigation, include:
1. The Magnet (MAG) cannot be directly isolated from vibration. Any vibration issue must be resolved
at the source.
Distance Below Top Surface Of Floor mm (in.)
2. MR Suite HVAC must have vibration isolation.
3. A vibration analysis must be performed at the proposed site with the results (and any mitigation)
forwarded to the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI). See the 8.2 MR Site Vibration
Test Guidelines on page 117.
4. A transient vibration test must only be performed after a steady-state test has been performed and
all steady-state sources of vibration have been mitigated.
5. Transient vibration levels above the specied limits in the 8.2 MR Site Vibration Test
Guidelines on page 117 must be given to the PMI for review.
6. Any transient vibration that causes vibration to exceed the steady-state level must be mitigated.
7. The vibration test consultant must account for non-mechanically induced signals such as test
equipment instabilities, thermal drift or RF interference.

3.3 Magnetic Shielded Room Requirements
Magnetic shielding prevents interaction between the magnet and nearby sensitive devices. Because of
the added cost of magnetic shielding, room location should be carefully considered. All sites, including
upgrade sites, must be evaluated for magnetic shielding requirements. Existing magnetic shielding at an
upgrade site may not be sucient for the new system. Contact the GE Healthcare Project Manager of
Installation (PMI) to request a site evaluation.
See MR Suite Magnetic Field Specications on page 24 for detailed magnetic proximity limit information.
1. The GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI) works with the customer to coordinate the
magnetic shielding site evaluation.
2. The customer is responsible for installation of all magnetic shielding.
3. If rear wall magnetic shield or steel RF wall is closer than 2500mm (98.4 in.) from isocenter, it should
be veried by GEHC PMI.
3.4 Integrated System Cabinet (ISC) and Penetration
Panel (PP) Wall Opening Requirements
The Penetration Panel must be covered on both sides and ISC must be covered on the magnet room
side for safety. If GE-supplied adjustable covers are not used, the customer must furnish covers or
enclosures with key or tool required for opening to limit access to the panel. The mounting and
clearance dimensions for the Penetration Panel and the ISC are shown in this section.

It is recommended to extend the Mesh Shield in between 100 mm (3.9 in.) and 110 mm (4.3
in.). However, the Mesh Shield can be extended to 180 mm (7.1 in.) without any slack. In case
there is any reason that the ISC cannot be located closely enough to the RF Shield, it is local
site engineer's responsibility to extend the Mesh Shield more than 110 mm (4.3 in.). Consider
oor level under the ISC when extending the Mesh Shield more than 110 mm (4.3 in.).
1. Non-ferrous (non-metallic) materials or components should be used in the Magnet Room.
2. Ferrous components or material in the Magnet Room that could be removed for servicing, cleaning,
or replacement must be secured to prevent the ferrous material from becoming a projectile (ferrous
components or material must also be identied as ferrous to prevent untrained personnel from
working on the ferrous material while the magnet is energized).
3.5.2 Walls
Refer to Acoustic Room Details, 5850262. Hard, bare wall surfaces may create a harsh Magnet Room
acoustic environment due to reection of sound waves. Finished walls with acoustic properties can
reduce reected noise.
1. GE Healthcare recommends nished walls to protect the RF shielding.
2. Walls and any millwork, cabinets, storage areas, acoustic coverings, and so on, must remain outside
the minimum service area.
3. A metallic electrical conduit inside walls and ceilings may be used. Conduit for receptacles must be
metallic.
3.5.3 Magnet Preinstallation Markings
For correct cryogen venting, the magnet vent adaptor must align correctly with the ceiling vent when
the magnet is installed.
1. The magnet isocenter position must be clearly marked, and the marking must be identiable
throughout construction.
NOTE
If there is no ceiling grid in the room, we recommend to also mark the magnet isocenter
location on the ceiling. This can serve as a reference for positioning a new vent pipe, or
can be used to reproduce the oor markings if they become lost during construction.
Refer to Magnet Room Venting Requirements, 5850263 for the location of the magnet vent.
5538858-1EN Revision 4SIGNA™ Prime67/126
Preinstallation Manual
2. If no ceiling vent pipe exists prior to construction, the location of the magnet isocenter and magnet
z-axis orientation must be marked on the Magnet Room oor as shown below.
Figure 3-9 Marking Magnet Isocenter (in a Room Without a Vent Pipe)
3.5 Finished Room Requirements
Figure 3-10 Marking the Magnet Isocenter and the Z-Axis Orientation on the Floor
3. If a ceiling vent pipe already exists at the start of construction, the magnet isocenter marking
must be correctly aligned relative to the position of the vent pipe. Refer to Magnet Room VentingRequirements, 5850263, for vent location.
NOTE
We recommend:
• Marking the center of the vent pipe.
• Using a cross line laser or other accurate method to transcribe it to the oor directly
• Marking the magnet isocenter relative to the vent pipe marking on the oor. The
positioning template (5810898 or 5810898-2 ) can be used as a marking aid.

3.5.4 Doors, Magnet Access Openings, and Patient Viewing
Windows
1. The nished opening of the Magnet Room main door must be at least 1092 mm (43 in.) wide to
allow for helium dewars and patient tables.
2. Threshold height must not exceed 15 mm (0.6 in.) on both sides of the door with a maximum
10-degree threshold inclination.
3. IEC requires the patient, while in the bore, be in full view of the operator.
NOTE
• GE Healthcare recommends using a window, although other means (for example,
camera and video display) may be used as long as all IEC requirements are met.
• The recommended dimensions for the patient viewing windows are 1219 mm wide x
762 mm high (48 in. wide x 30 in. high).
• The recommended distance from the bottom edge of the patient viewing window to
the nishedoor is 1067 mm (42 in.).
4. The magnet delivery requires an opening into the room to allow access for the magnet delivery,
rigging, and personnel access.
3.5.5 Finished Ceiling
1. The customer is responsible for the nished ceiling.
2. The nished ceiling grid must be non-ferrous.
3. Ceiling preparation should be completed prior to magnet delivery.
3.5.6 Magnet Room Floors
1. The nishedoor must support the weight of all components throughout operation and service life.
This includes the magnet, patient table, and gradient coil replacement cart.
NOTE
For gradient coil replacement, eld engineers remove the patient table from the Magnet
Room before they move the gradient coil replacement cart into the Magnet Room.
2. The nishedoor must be water resistant to protect the suboor and shielding from water damage.
