MRI Magnet Pressure Gauge

Mar 2, 2021 | Tech Tips, Siemens

In this tip, Joe covers what to check for on your MRI magnet pressure gauge when performing a PM on your MRI system. During each PM interval you need to make sure your magnet pressure gauge reads a certain level, otherwise, you will need to do some troubleshooting for issues.

What to check on your magnet pressure gauge during preventive maintenance (PM). During each PM interval, verify that your magnet pressure gauge reads 1.3 PSI. If it doesn’t:

  1. Troubleshoot the Cold Head Compressor
  2. Inspect the Compressor Lines (both from the compressor to the cold head)
  3. Examine the Cold Head (Co-Head) itself
  4. Check All Valves on the magnet system
