BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule
Introduction
Introduction
MRI Scanners use strong magnetic fields that can cause partial or permanent damage to Infusion Pumps. The BD Alaris™
MRI Capsule (hereinafter referred to as MRI Capsule) has been designed to allow the hospital sta to use the Alaris™
Infusion Pumps in the MRI environment. There is no need for complicated and expensive non-magnetic Infusion Pumps
specially designed for the MRI use.
The MRI Capsule will be used to provide mounting, power and Pump Alarm Location Beacon display of Infusion Pumps
within the operating environment range specified in this Directions For Use (DFU).
Intended Use
The MRI Capsule is designed for use in a Professional Healthcare Facility Environment and to be used in Magnetic
Resonances Systems environment with controlled access. The MRI Capsule is intended to be used to protect the MRI
images from RF wave interference and also prevent the MRI Scanner from attracting infusion pumps to the magnet. The
MRI Capsule is designed to not directly impact or prevent the infusion delivery process.
Only BD authorized pumps can be used with the MRI Capsule.
The MRI Capsule is designed to accommodate the following Pumps which will communicate with the Pump Alarm
Location Beacon for High, Medium and Low priority alarms where applicable. For further alarm information, refer to
PumpDFU.

If a compatible Pump is visibly damaged, there is the possibility that RF interference could cause artefact to the
scan image, and a replacement Pump may be required. Prior to commencing the scan it is advised that the image be
checked for any interference.
Prior to using an AlarisTM VP Plus Guardrails Volumetric Pump with the MRI Capsule, check the firmware version of
the Pump. If it is below v1.4.9, do not use with the MRI Capsule, as it would require the use of a Model 180 flow sensor.
The Model 180 flow sensor is not compatible with the MRI Capsule. Arrange with your local BD representative for the
Pump firmware to be upgraded to v1.4.9 or greater.
wThe AeroScout tags, all models, are compatible with the BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule.

BDDF00171 Issue 4 15/39
BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule
Features of the MRI Capsule
Power Input
The MRI Capsule is powered from the AC Power Supply through a standard IEC AC Power connector (i.e. C13, C14). When
connected to the AC Power Supply the AC Power indicator is illuminated. Both the Live and Neutral lines of the main
supply are protected using fuses carried in a double fuse holder located on the AC Power Supply inlet connector.
When connected to the AC Power Supply, a three wire (Live, Neutral, Earth) supply must be used. If the
integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, then the
MRI Capsule must not be used.
wTo isolate the MRI Capsule from the AC Power Supply remove the AC Power cord from the source socket.
The MRI Capsule should be positioned to allow access for disconnecting the AC Power cord.
Battery Supply
There are two batteries in the MRI Capsule:
MRI Capsule Internal Battery
The MRI Capsule should normally be operated from the AC Power supply. However, in the event of temporary loss of AC
Power, an internal power supply will provide approximately 60 minutes of backup power. AC Power to the Pumps will be
discontinued.
AC Power should be re-applied as soon as possible as there will be no AC Power supplied to the Pumps
while the MRI Capsule is running on the battery.
Note: When the AC Power is disconnected, the Pumps on the MRI Capsule Medical Device Interface (MDI) tiles (herein
after referred to as tiles) that generate an alarm will be replicated on the Pump Alarm Location Beacon.
The Battery indicator illuminates whenever the MRI Capsule is running from the internal battery. When illuminated the
MRI Capsule is operating from internal battery; when flashing the battery power is low and auto power down is imminent.
The battery is automatically charged whenever the MRI Capsule is connected to the AC Power Supply. As the MRI Capsule
is designed to operate from the AC Power supply it will only power up when connected to the AC Power Supply.
wIf transfer of the MRI Capsule is required, then prior to disconnecting from AC Power supply the User
must ensure there is sufficient battery power on each of the Pumps.
wIn the event of a power loss, the MRI Capsule will provide a visual indicator and emit an audible tone
every 30 seconds for the first 14 minutes to alert operators. This audible tone and visual indicator
will escalate to every 15 seconds after 14 minutes until the battery is fully depleted. These tones and
indications should not be confused with the continuous alarm and LED notification that is initiated if the
MRI Capsule exhibits a fault condition.
Magnetic Indicator Battery
The Magnetic Indicator has an independent Primary Alkaline Battery. It is a non-rechargeable battery to provide power
to the Magnetic Indicator. The function of the battery is to operate the Magnetic Indicator independently from the AC
Power supply or the MRI Capsule internal battery. The battery indicator of the Magnetic Indicator will be flashing when
the battery power is low and BD recommends replacing the battery every two years. Please contact Qualified Service
Personnel to replace the battery.
Note: The Magnetic Indicator will always be on.
AC Power Output to Infusion Pumps
The MRI Capsule has its own power distribution circuit to supply AC Power to the attached Pumps. Each MRI Capsule tile
IEC connector will have AC Power present on the connector, without the Pump attached to the MRI Capsule, and the tile
green LED will be illuminated. When a Pump is fully attached to the MRI Capsule tile the AC Power indicator on the Pump
will illuminate to indicate the Pump is powered and charging.
The MRI Capsule tile AC Power outlet connection is intended only for connection to the aforementioned
Pumps. Please refer to the compatibility matrix in the ‘Intended Use’ section of this guide. Never attach
any other equipment to the outlet connector.

BDDF00171 Issue 4 16/39
BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule
Features of the MRI Capsule
System Notifications
The MRI Capsule is equipped with both audio and visual notifications to promote user awareness. System Notifications
have been segregated into three dierent categories: Status Notifications, System Fault Indications and Pump Alarms,
based on their required response and method of user awareness. All System Notifications generated by the MRI Capsule
are considered Information Signals. They are not used to indicate an Alarm State but maybe used to replicate an
Alarm Signal present on the attached Pumps. The Primary and Secondary Speakers are used to generate the auditory
notifications. The purpose of the Primary speaker is to relay the MRI Capsule status. Whereas the Secondary speaker
indicates a failure within the system. The table below summarizes the behaviour of the auditory speakers.
Audio Generator Approximate Sound Pressure Level at 1 metre Notification Type
Primary Speaker ≤ 45 dB(A) Informational
Secondary Speaker ≥ 45 dB(A) Informational
wIn some user environments the Sound Pressure Level of the Primary and Secondary Speakers could be less
than the ambient noise.
A high level summary of the System notifications can be found in the table below. Status Notifications are represented by
small LEDs and are the only System Notifications that use the primary speaker. System Fault Indications are represented
by the System Fault Indicator and use the secondary speaker. The Pump Alarm Location Beacon is used to replicate the
Pump Alarm Condition.

applicable, to avoid User confusion. The Hospital/Facility is responsible for selecting and configuring the
desired alarm scheme.
Refer to each individual Pump’s Directions for Use for further details on the alarm schemes. The User
should always refer to the alarm on the Pump for the correct priority.

System Fault Indication
Continuous monitoring of the power distribution and communications system integrity is performed by the MRI Capsule.
In the event that a system fault occurs whilst in use, the System Fault Indicator will be illuminated accompanied by an
audible tone. To avoid any possible interruption to the infusion, AC Power to the Pumps will be maintained on the MRI
Capsule tile should a system fault be detected.
In addition to scenarios described above the MRI Capsule also briefly illuminates the System Fault Indicator and activates
the audible tone each time the MRI Capsule is switched on.

BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule
Features of the MRI Capsule
Pump Alarm Location Beacon
The Pump Alarm Location Beacon is mounted at the top of the MRI Capsule to assist with identifying the presence
of any alarms generated by the Pumps. When lit, the Pump Alarm Location Beacon colour matches that of the visual
status indicator on the Pumps. Alarms of high priority, such as when an infusion is terminated are reflected as flashing
Red. Alarms of medium priority, such as Battery Low, are reflected as flashing or solid Yellow. Alarms of low priority, such
as AC Power Disconnection, are reflected as solid Yellow. The Pump Alarm Location Beacon will indicate the highest
priority of alarm if there are multiple Pumps in an alarm state. The Pump Alarm Location Beacon flashes automatically
whenever any Pump located on an MRI Capsule Tile enters the alarm condition, and stops when the condition is cleared
on the Pump. The Pump Alarm Location Beacon automatically illuminates Red then Yellow each time the MRI Capsule is
switched on.
The Pump Alarm Location Beacon alerts the user to a Pump being in an alarm condition whilst it is connected to the MRI
Capsule, it does not replace the alarm on the Pump which remains the principle indicator that the attention of a clinician
is required.
A summary of the Pump Alarm Priority Level Indicators can be found below.
Pump Alarm Priority Colour Frequency
HIGH Priority Red Flashing faster than Medium Priority
MEDIUM Priority Yellow Flashing or solid
LOW Priority Yellow Solid
Note: In the occurrence of a Pump alarm being transmitted to the alarm location beacon, the clinician must decide on
the urgency of alarm by referring to the Pump’s DFU to determine whether it needs to be rectified. If the clinician
decides they need to rectify the alarm condition, they must follow the local hospital policy for entering the scan
room. To clear the Pump Alarm Location Beacon state on the MRI Capsule, the clinician has to clear the alarm
state on the Pump first.
wIf the Pump Alarm Location Beacon fails to illuminate when the MRI Capsule is switched on, suspect a
fault. Remove the MRI Capsule from service and contact Qualified Service Personnel.
wThere may be a delay, of approximately six seconds, between the Pump going into alarm and the Pump
Alarm Location Beacon activating via the MRI Capsule.
wIn the event of a communication fault between the MRI Capsule and the Pump, the MRI Capsule Pump
Alarm Location Beacon and Pump Alarm Beacon may not be synchronised. In this case, refer to the
Pump’s Alarm status. Communication faults could result from hardware failures or incorrect configuration
of the Pump communication parameters

BD Alaris™ MRI Capsule
Operating Precautions
Operating Precautions
Operating Environment
• Users of the MRI Capsule should read all instructions in this manual before using this
medical device.
• The MRI Capsule is suitable for various establishments, including those directly connected
to the public low-voltage power supply network.
• When setting up the MRI Capsule, an assessment of any potential hazards associated
with the routing of electrical leads and infusion lines should be made. Where appropriate,
mitigations should be identified and implemented.
• The MRI Capsule should only be used with compatible BD products and accessories.
• While being used for patient therapy, each MRI Capsule should be dedicated to the care of
a single patient.
• This MRI Capsule is not intended to be used in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic
mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference
M• This MRI Capsule is protected against the eects of external interference, including high
energy radio frequency emissions, magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge (for example,
as generated by electrosurgical and cauterising equipment, large motors, portable radios,
cellular telephones etc.) and has been tested to relevant standards for electromagnetic and
radio frequency interference. Where variations of the standards exist, additional testing to
meet these requirements have been completed.
• If the door of the MRI Capsule is open, and the Pumps are infusing, portable
communication devices should be used no closer than 30cm from the MRI Capsule.
Otherwise degradation of the performance of the Pumps could result.
• The MRI Capsule is a Class IIb device. When Alaris™ Infusion Pumps are attached and
operational, the system becomes a Class IIb system.
• This MRI Capsule is a Class IIb device . Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are
not likely to cause any interference with the nearby electronic equipment. However, this
MRI Capsule emits a certain level of electromagnetic radiation which is within the levels
specified by IEC/EN60601-2-24 and IEC/EN60601-1-2 (where applicable). If however the
MRI Capsule interacts with other equipment, measures should be taken to minimise the
eects, for instance by repositioning or relocation.
• The emissions characteristics of the MRI Capsule make it suitable for use in industrial areas
and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which CISPR
11 class B is normally required) the MRI Capsule might not oer adequate protection to
radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures,
such as re-locating or re-orientating the MRI Capsule.
• Therapeutic Radiation Equipment: Do not use the MRI Capsule in the vicinity of
any Therapeutic Radiation Equipment. Levels of radiation generated by the radiation
therapy equipment such as a Linear Accelerator, may severely aect functioning of the
MRI Capsule. Please consult manufacturer’s recommendations for safe distance and
other precautionary requirements. For further information, please contact your local BD
representative.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The Pumps contain ferromagnetic materials which
are susceptible to interference with magnetic field generated by the MRI devices. Therefore,
the MRI Capsule should be used within the specified safe distance only. This safe distance
should be established in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations regarding
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Alternatively, contact your local BD representative for
further guidance.
