or chymotrypsin, as they can actually cause clogs or create adverse reactions in some patients.
If the clog is stubborn and cannot be removed, the tube will have to be replaced.
Caution: Do not insert foreign objects through the tube.

MRI Safety Information

Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the MIC* GE enteral feeding tube is MR Conditional. A
patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions:
• Static magnetic field of 1.5 T and 3 T only
• Maximum spatial field gradient of 4,000 Gauss/cm (40 T/m)
• Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4 W/
kg for 15 minutes of scanning (i.e. per pulse sequence) in the First Level Controlled Operating
Mode
Using the scan conditions defined above, the MIC* GE enteral feeding tube is expected to produce
a maximum temperature rise of 2.8 °C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning (i.e. per pulse
sequence).
In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the device extends approximately 2 mm from
the MIC* GE enteral feeding tube when imaged using a gradient echo pulse sequence and a 3 T
MRI system.
Warning: For enteral nutrition and/or enteral medication only.
