MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.
MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.
MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.
The FerrAlert Solo Ferromagnetic Detection System stands as a cutting-edge solution for ensuring safety within MRI environments. Purpose-built to detect ferromagnetic objects with unmatched sensitivity, this advanced system helps prevent hazardous items, such as hairpins or paperclips, from entering restricted zones in MRI suites. Designed for seamless integration with existing MRI equipment setups, the FerrAlert Solo enhances operational efficiency without compromising safety. Its precision-engineered technology continuously monitors ambient magnetic fields, providing early visual warnings of potential risks and instantly pinpointing the exact location of ferromagnetic objects to eliminate the need for manual pat-downs or handheld detectors.
Featuring proprietary sensor technology, the FerrAlert Solo offers the industry's highest detection sensitivity while minimizing false alarms, ensuring consistent and reliable results. The pre-screening system enables simple, non-invasive self-screening or supervised screening, safeguarding patients and personnel. Furthermore, its touchless activation reduces risks of cross-contamination, making it an invaluable addition to medical facilities. Affordable yet highly effective, the FerrAlert Solo is a critical investment for MRI facilities aiming to enhance safety and streamline operations with innovative MRI products that offer reliability and peace of mind.
