| Issue: | The Instructions for Use state how (and how not) to position the SENSE Body Coil 1.5T and its cables in relation to the patient and MR bore in order to avoid a hazardous situation. When these instructions are not followed during an examination, the positioning of the coil cables can create unintended resonances via the patient or elevated coil cable temperature due to RF coupling to the Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) |
