Patient Weight

A Weighty Matter


Believe it or not, a patient’s weight is one of the most important parameters you enter when setting up an exam.

The RF power monitor and SAR limitations help prevent excessive RF exposure to the patient; SAR values are calculated based on the patient’s weight.

To help avoid power monitor trips or compromised performance, enter the patient’s actual weight to set correct operating limits.
