1 SAFESCAN FERROMAGNETIC DETECTION SYSTEMS FOR MRI SAFETY ets-lindgren.com

2 Why does my facility need a Ferromagnetic Detection System? Today s MR magnets are so powerful that a ferrous item can be drawn into the scanner quickly and at a high rate of force. When an accident occurs, it is often dangerous and costly. Detection of ferromagnetic items before entering the MR is critical to patient and staff safety. THE IMPORTANCE OF FERROMAGNETIC SCREENING FACT VS. FICTION: ARE MRI ACCIDENTS REAL? Unfortunately, yes. Failure to detect ferrous items have led to MRI accidents with some resulting in bodily injury and/or damage to MRI equipment. 1 Early detection of these items is critical to providing a safe MR environment for your patients and staff. ARE THERE GUIDELINES IN PLACE REGARDING FERROUS MAGNETIC DETECTION? Requirements vary by state, licensing and accreditation bodies, and many facilities establish their own requirements based upon recommendations from these different bodies. The American College of Radiology (ACR), The Joint Commission and the Veterans Health Administration (VA) have all published best practices or accreditation requirements, for scanning individuals and objects entering an MRI suite. IS THERE ONE SINGLE SOLUTION TO SCANNING FOR FERROMAGNETIC THREATS? Various locations in an MRI facility require different solutions for detection. ETS-Lindgren s SAFESCAN product line allows you the flexibility to setup your safety protocols and place the necessary tools in the right places to achieve your goals. 1 M.R.I.

SUPERIOR PROTECTION WITHOUT DISTRACTION: Easy-to-Operate Design; No Confusing Alarms or Lights Installation by ETS-Lindgren to Ensure Proper Settings and Usage Choice of Pass-through, Pass-by, and Manual Screening Models No Special Electrical Preparation is Required; All SAFESCAN Models use Existing Outlets For New or Existing Construction In-service and On-site Training for SAFESCAN Dual Pillar, Single Pillar and Screener Models Technical Specifications ACR Zones Occupants Hazards Zone I General Public Negligible MRI Hazards Zone II Unscreened MRI Patients Immediately Outside Area(s) of Hazard Zone III Zone IV Screened MRI Patients/Personnel Screened MRI Patients Under Constant Direct Supervision of Trained MRI Personnel Potential Biostimulation Interference and Access to Magnet Room Biostimulation Interference, RF Heating, Missile Effect and Cryogens Do I need a Screener and a Pass-through Detector? A screener is used to enhance the safety screening process of the patient. These devices are more sensitive in order to identify very small objects. A pass-through detector is used to protect the MRI from accidents that could happen with hospital staff, including cleaning and maintenance staff. It is also a secondary check on the patient before taking them into the MRI room.
