This document applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) EQUIPMENT and MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) SYSTEMS.

NOTE Where ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS are used in the clause headings, this is to be understood to indicate MR EQUIPMENT and MR SYSTEMS.

This document does not cover the application of MR EQUIPMENT beyond the INTENDED USE.

If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to MR EQUIPMENT only, or to MR SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to MR EQUIPMENT and to MR SYSTEMS, as relevant.

This document does not formulate additional specific requirements for MR EQUIPMENT or MR SYSTEMS used in INTERVENTIONAL MR EXAMINATIONS.
