The FerrAlert Halo II Ferromagnetic Detection System is an advanced solution for enhancing safety and efficiency in MRI environments. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing MRI products, this innovative system utilizes cutting-edge ferromagnetic detection technology to identify potential threats before they enter Zone IV, where the MRI equipment is located. Its Intelligent Visual Advanced Warning Technology provides early alerts as ferromagnetic objects approach the portal, with warnings activated sooner for higher threats. Additionally, the system features an automatic audio alarm triggered only at the threshold if visual warnings are ignored, helping mitigate risks of accidents, protecting equipment, and ensuring compliance with safety standards set by ACR and The Joint Commission.
With 24 sensors for precise detection from head to toe, the FerrAlert Halo II suppresses false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to ferromagnetic threats. This reduces alarm fatigue and optimizes workflow by enabling seamless threat identification without the need for invasive pat-downs or handheld detectors. Its distinct ability to pinpoint the location of ferromagnetic objects allows technologists to maintain full control of the MRI room, with alarm status visible from both inside and outside the suite. By prioritizing reliable detection and operational efficiency, the FerrAlert Halo II is an essential addition for any modern MRI equipment setup, ensuring patient and staff safety in high-stakes medical environments.
