1AbbreviationsMRI → Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRT → Magnetic Resonance Tomography
Tesla (T) → Magnetic flux density/induction
HF → High Frequency
2GeneralFabius MRI is a variant of the Fabius GS/Tiro which operates in a MRI envi-
ronment.
3Basics of magnetic
resonance tomography
Magnetic resonance (MR) or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is a diagnostic technique which produces high-resolution pictures (images) of the
human body without the use of dangerous X-rays.
Signals are generated and received using a strong magnet and a radio-frequency antenna. The resulting images are evaluated and displayed by a
computer.
4Safety instructionsAs the MR scanner generates very strong magnetic fields, special safety pre-
cautions must be taken.
Strong, high-frequency magnetic fields can heat metal. There is a risk of
burns caused by metal objects on the person or implants.
Ferromagnetic (metal) objects can also be accelerated with great force and
could cause injury.
The data content of cards featuring magnetic strips (such as credit cards)
may be wiped.
Before entering the MR scanner room remove all metal objects from your person. This includes:
–Coins
–Key
–Watches
–Items of jewelry
–Tools
–Cards with magnetic strips
12
Persons with implants should consult a specialist doctor before entering the
room.
Metal implants inside the body may cause pain and injuries when they are
introduced into the magnetic field. Therefore, patients with certain implants
are contraindicated from MR imaging. Prior to MR examination, the MR physician or technologist will ask the patients about the following risk factors:
–cardiac pacemakers
–metal plates, nails, or metal implants
–artery clamps
–artificial cardiac valves
–intrauterine contraceptive devices
–body jewelry
–cosmetic decorations or tattoos (the dyes used may contain metal flakes
or slivers)
–shrapnel
–pregnancy (should be reported)
According to current knowledge, damaging effects are unlikely at the magnetic field strength used (up to 3.0 tesla).
6Battery backupFabius MRI battery power is provided by two rechargeable series-connected
12 V batteries. These batteries remain on charge as long as the machine is
plugged into an active AC outlet. Should power supply fail while the machine
is in operation, the batteries will allow the machine to continue operating for a
minimum of 45 minutes, provided that the batteries are fully charged.
The batteries are accessible by opening the ventilator compartment. The
3.15A battery fuse is located at the back of the control box.
The supply gases flow through the filters and non-return valves in the gas
inlet assembly. Pipeline supply pressures are indicated on pipeline pressure
gauges located on the flowmeter assembly. Cylinder pressure gauges are
located on the trolley assembly. The pressures of O2 and N2O delivered to
the flowmeter assembly are set by regulators on the gas inlet assembly.
If the O2 supply fails or its pressure decreases below a certain limit, the O2
low alarm switch generates an alarm.
If the O2 flush button is pressed, oxygen is delivered to the fresh-gas outlet.
The fresh-gas ejector prevents the fresh gas from flowing back into the anesthetic vaporizer. This avoids an increase in anesthetic gas concentration.
The SORC is a control element that functions like an N2O shut-off device and
ensures a vital O2 concentration in the fresh gas. In the event of an O2 shortage, the SORC limits the N2O flow such that the O2 concentration in the
fresh gas does not decrease below 21 vol.%.
19
Function descriptionFabius MRI
If the O2 flow control valve is closed or if the O2 flow is lower than or equal to
200 mL/min, the SORC interrupts the N2O flow.
N2O can be added as of an O2 flow of approx. 300 mL/min. In this case, the
SORC also prevents O2 concentrations below 21 vol.%.
The SORC bypass allows the oxygen to bypass the resistor in the SORC
when O2 flows above 10 L/min are needed.
Fig. 10 SORC function diagram, part 1
The O2 and N2O flows are adjusted with the flow control valves.
Resistors located at the outlets of the SORC generate back-pressures. These
back-pressures exert a force on the control diaphragms of the SORC. The O2
back-pressure opens the SORC. The N2O back-pressure closes the SORC.
The pressure ratio at the control diaphragm affects the N2O flow.
The resistors and the spring force are dimensioned such that a minimum concentration of 21 vol.% of O2 is always ensured. The maximum O2 flow is
approx. 12 L/min.

The Cosy 2.6 breathing system allows three modes of patient ventilation:
–Manual ventilation and spontaneous breathing
–Volume controlled ventilation
–Pressure controlled ventilation
On APL valves with control knob, switching from “IPPV/SPONT” to “MAN” is
carried out by turning the knob.
In the “MAN” position, the breathing system is closed to atmosphere. This
position is used for manual ventilation of the patient. The APL valve opening
pressure can be adjusted from 5 to 70 cmH2O (mbar).
In the “SPONT” switch position the APL valve is open to atmosphere. This
position is used for spontaneous breathing.
Using the control box and the PEEP/Pmax valve, the pressure limit (Pmax)
can also be adjusted during volume control from 15 cmH2O (mbar) to
70 cmH2O (mbar) via the membrane keypad.

During manual ventilation, the APL valve is set to the “MAN” position. The
safety valve of the patient system is activated.
The item numbers mentioned in the following paragraphs refer to Fig. 15.
During inspiration, expiratory valve 14 remains closed. When the operator
compresses the manual breathing bag 18 the gas mixture (expiratory gas
and fresh gas 2) flows through the absorber 1, the fresh-gas decoupling valve
3, the inspiratory valve 5, the O2 sensor 7, the inspiratory hose 8, and the Ypiece 9 into the patient’s lung 10. The pressure sensor 6 measures the airway pressure. The ventilation pressure is limited by the APL valve 16. Any
excess amount of the gas mixture flows through the APL valve and the nonreturn valve 17 to the anesthetic gas scavenging system.
After releasing the breathing bag 18, the expiratory gas from the lung 10
flows through the expiratory tube 11, the flow sensor 12, the PEEP/Pmax
valve 13, the expiratory valve 14, into the manual ventilation bag and through
the absorber 18. At the same time, new fresh gas 2 flows into the manual
ventilation bag.
A prerequisite for spontaneous breathing is that the patient is supplied with a
sufficient amount of fresh gas. The APL valve selector must be set to the
“SPONT” position. No pressure builds up in the compact breathing system.
During inspiration, the expiratory valve remains closed thus preventing
rebreathing of expiratory gas containing CO2.
The item numbers mentioned in the following paragraphs refer to Fig. 17.
The patient inhales the gas mixture (expiratory gas and fresh gas 2) from the
manual ventilation bag 18. The gas mixture flows through the fresh-gas
decoupling valve 3, the inspiratory valve 5, the O2 sensor 7, the inspiratory
hose 8, and through the Y-piece 9 into the lung 10. The pressure sensor 6
measures the airway pressure.
