Procedure

  1. Install the RF body coil air flow sensor housing to the side electronics:
    Note: The air flow sensor housing is secured to the side electronics with Velcro.
    1. Attach the air flow sensor housing to the side electronics. If needed, press firmly to secure in place.
      Note: The airflow sensor must be attached to the right side of the SRI.

    3. Connect one end of the RF body coil air flow sensor assembly to SRI J24.
      Figure 3. Connect SRI J24
    4. Zip tie the opposite end of the two cables together and route to the 10:30 position on the patient end.

  2. If any front panel cover screws were removed for access, reinstall them.
  3. If the control panel covers were removed for access, do Installing the magnet left and right control panel covers.
  4. Install the body coil air flow sensor to the patient end:
    1. Place the assembly’s two air flow sensor blocks onto the body coil base and install them with four M4 x 10 brass screws.
    2. Use a small cable tie mount attached to the face of the gradient coil to keep the two cables away from the two air flow sensors and flush with the gradient coil. Make sure the cable and tie mount does not obstruct shim tray installation or air flow through the sensor.
    3. Install the two air flow sensor heads.
