    1.5T CARDIAC ARRAY OPTION

    1 INTRODUCTION

    1-1 SERVICE FEATURES


    The new GE Cardiac Array Coils provide field replaceable cable assemblies, PIN diodes, coil halves, and
    miscellaneous mechanical hardware. Extensive durability testing on the cable assembly should assure low
    failure rate of these coils due to cable or diode failure. Introduction of passive blocking networks should
    minimize active diode failures.

    The new coils also feature cable traps and cable baluns. These features minimize the coupling of the coil to
    electric fields within the body coil and thus minimize the exposure of the patient to warming associated with those
    electric fields. However, the coil cannot be used in a lowpass body coil environment due to increased heating of
    the baluns and traps from the high electric fields from the body coil inductive drives.

    The new coils feature unique bias error detection for all four phased array coils. This means that the operator will
    not be able to scan if a diode failure occurs or the coil is not plugged in properly. This is a safety improvement.
    In addition, redundant passive blocking components guarantee a ‘safe in first fault condition.’

    1-2 KEY SERVICE DIFFERENCES


    Passive blocking networks on the coils are not repairable in the field. However, all active diodes are field
    replaceable. All FRU’s are diagnosed using either a Digital Multimeter or image quality scans.

    2 INSTALLATION

    2-1 INSTALLATION PROCESS


    Installation should be done by properly trained GE Field Service Engineers. FMI 60486 must be installed in all
    1.5T Signa Horizon systems with 5.6 and later hardware, with Phased Array option, prior to use of the Cardiac
    Array Coil. This FMI provides a special keying mechanism to allow the use of the Torso Array or Cardiac Array
    and similar type coils in hardware with compatible body coils.

    WARNING!

    BURN HAZARD! TO PREVENT PATIENT WARMING OR BURNS, DO NOT INSTALL


    THE CARDIAC PHASED ARRAY COIL IN SIGNA® ADVANTAGE™ SYSTEMS. THE
    CARDIAC PHASED ARRAY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LOWPASS BODY COIL
    ASSOCIATED WITH THE SIGNA® ADVANTAGE™ SYSTEMS. THIS INCLUDES
    SIGNA® ADVANTAGE™ SR-17 SYSTEMS.
    Special Requirements
    Special installation requirements for this product are:

    • Assure FMI 60486 is installed prior to releasing the 1.5T version of this coil to the customer. This coil will not
    work in a system that has not been modified by FMI 60486.

    • Coil Configuration Files are different for the Cardiac Array from any previous GE coils. Refer to Direction
    2202522 for proper coil configuration information.

    4 PLANNED MAINTENANCE
    Planned maintenance (PMs) are proactive service visits intended to reduce the probability of failure during the
    year. PMs instructions (procedures and frequencies) are based on engineering recommendations to meet safety,
    regulatory, and image quality requirements. For the Cardiac Phased Array Coil product, the impact to PMs are:
    • Number of PMs are not impacted by this option.
    • New parts to be changed during PMs: Inspect coil and cables for wear. Replace worn components.
    • There are no differences in PMs by region.
