Philips Ingenia Elition 3.0T S/X: Room Requirements and Layout

General Room Requirements

Please note the following:

1. A dedicated power line from a transformer (TP / TRS) is required.
2. Consider the proximity to elevators, electrical rooms, traffic routes, and the metro.
3. Verify the floor's load-bearing capacity; there are also limitations on the amount of metal in the floor.
4. Identify areas with magnetic field induction of 0.5 mT and higher outside the procedure room.
5. The total power requirement for the medical facility is determined by the UPS system, which may allow for a higher UPS capacity due to peak currents.
6. Consider the route for the quench pipe and the helium exhaust zone.

Recommended Room Dimensions and Layout

Procedure Room: 7300 x 6500 mm

Operator Room: 3000 x 6500 mm

Technical Room: 3000 x 6500 mm

Recommended ceiling height: 3200 mm from floor to ceiling slab.

Rooms with smaller dimensions may present mechanical limitations and operational or maintenance difficulties.

Additional Placement Recommendations and Comments

1. Do not place the MRI procedure room adjacent (horizontally or vertically) to wards for pregnant women, children, or cardiac patients, or to rooms for round-the-clock patient stays (as per SN 2.1.2678-20). Also, do not allow individuals with pacemakers in the zone with magnetic field strength of 0.5 mT or higher. The height of the MRI isocenter is 1.004 m.
2. It is not recommended to install the scanner under rooms from which water leakage through ceilings is possible.
3. Do not place significant masses of metal, transformers, high-power electrical equipment, elevators, or electrical cables near the MRI procedure room. Additionally, vehicles, trams, etc., moving in close proximity to the MRI suite can have an undesirable influence. For verification, it is recommended to use the diagrams and graphs on page 3.
4. Communications under the room floors, as well as between walls and the Faraday cage, are highly undesirable. Besides their influence on the equipment's operation, access to them after installation will be impossible.
5. It is not recommended to locate the MRI suite in the influence zone of communications (elevators, power lines, tram tracks, metro, etc.). In such cases, the risk of impact on the magnetic field should be assessed by an accredited organization or the equipment manufacturer.
6. A helium emergency exhaust pipe exits through the wall to the outside. Under normal conditions, a minimal amount of helium gas exits through it, but in an emergency, a large amount of helium at a very low temperature is released in a short period. Therefore, the area within a 3 m radius of the pipe outlet must be secured, and access for people restricted. Open windows and air intake systems should be excluded.
7. Provision must be made for MRI transport routes. Typically, a temporary transport opening in the procedure room wall of 2.5 m x 2.5 m (W x H) is made for equipment transport.
8. A temporary unloading area of 3 m x 3 m above the procedure room level must be provided. The height of the threshold between the unloading area and the procedure room depends on the thickness of the Faraday cage floor.
9. The total weight of the Faraday cage is approximately 5-7 tons, with distributed weight.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

Philips provides a climate control system for the operation of the equipment, ensuring the required air exchange and microclimate only in the MRI procedure room and technical room. For the installation of the external climate control unit (chiller), a space of approximately 3.3 m x 1.6 m x 1.8 m (W x D x H) with a weight of ~1000 kg must be reserved. It is recommended to install the chiller near the technical room, outside the building, or on the roof in agreement with Philips. No additional climate control equipment installation is required.

Other rooms within the MRI suite (e.g., control room, preparation room, etc.) are not connected to the climate control system. Air exchange in these rooms should be provided in accordance with regulatory documentation.

Power Supply Requirements

1. Power supply scheme: Star connection, 5-wire, TN-C-S: 3 phases, neutral, protective conductor.
   • Permissible voltage fluctuations: +10% / -10%.
   • Supply voltage: 380/400 V.
   • Mains frequency: (50±3) Hz.
   • Phase-to-phase impedance of the network: no more than 0.15 Ohm (parameter to be checked at the MRI disconnect switch in the technical room before installation).
   • Total power for the MPT Elition system: 86 kVA, Nominal current: 124 A.
   • Peak current: 400A (for no more than 5 ms), 500A (for no more than 1 ms), Power factor = 0.9.
   • Climate control system power: approximately 60 kVA, Nominal current: approximately 90 A.
2. Two separate power feeds must be provided (one for the MRI system, the other for the climate control system). For the MRI system, the feed should be from the transformer substation, through the UPS, with a cross-section ensuring the maximum power consumption, equipment current, and phase-to-phase network impedance not exceeding the required level. Only Philips equipment should be connected to this separate line. Power and grounding cables should be brought to the location indicated on the room preparation plan for installation. Free cable ends should be at least 2 m long. Cable entry from below is recommended.
3. The grounding system for the medical device must comply with local legislation and regulatory requirements. The grounding loop should be connected to the main grounding bus of the building. The grounding resistance should not exceed 1.5 Ohm.
4. Lighting inside the MRI procedure room is provided by the Faraday cage manufacturer. Lighting in the control room and technical room should be provided in accordance with current standards. Due to the numerous communications present on the technical room ceiling, wall-mounted lighting is recommended.

Storage and Storage Conditions

The equipment is supplied in large crates (approximately 50 units, totaling about 22 tons). A temporary storage location for the equipment must be prepared and agreed upon with the Philips Healthcare project manager, adhering to the storage conditions below. The temporary storage location should be in close proximity to the equipment installation room.

The equipment must be stored in conditions that exclude exposure to atmospheric precipitation, low and high temperatures.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

The UPS is typically supplied in two cabinets. Due to high heat dissipation, it is recommended to locate the UPS in the MRI technical room. In this case, the climate control system will dissipate the excess heat from the UPS.

If there is insufficient space in the technical room for the UPS, it can be located in a separate room with forced cooling, adjacent to the electrical room. In this case, a climate control system will be needed to remove excess heat from the UPS.

There are no additional ventilation requirements for this Philips equipment. Ventilation should be designed according to current standards.
