Product catalog summary
Introduction
MR imaging is crucial for neonatal diagnosis due to its non-invasive nature, which is vital for the delicate condition of infants. The Scan Pod is designed to address the logistical challenges of transporting infants from the NICU to the MR unit, providing a safe and comfortable environment for both transport and imaging.
Design and Features
The Scan Pod is set up in the NICU, allowing infants to be stabilized and transported safely. It incorporates features from the Baby Pod II to reduce vibration and noise, minimizing stress for the infant. The interior includes shock-absorbing foam and a memory foam layer for comfort, with covers that are bacteria-resistant and washable. The Pod is compatible with MRI focusing coils from major manufacturers, ensuring high-quality imaging.
Construction and Materials
The Scan Pod is made from a high-tech composite material, ensuring it is lightweight and does not interfere with MR, CT, or X-Ray imaging. It weighs less than 15kg, allowing easy maneuverability by one or two operators. The composite construction also ensures safety and no artefacting during imaging.
Patient Comfort and Safety
The Pod includes a vacuum mattress and soft straps to secure the infant comfortably. The mattress can be molded around the patient and holds its shape to provide support during transport. The interior foam reduces noise and vibration, enhancing patient comfort.
Ventilation and Warmth
The Scan Pod can be equipped with the NeoVent ventilator for MR-conditional oxygen support. The TransWarmer Infant Transport Mattress provides warmth without electrical power, maintaining a consistent temperature for up to 2 hours.
Visibility and Access
The Pod features a transparent lid for visibility and easy access ports for adjustments without removing the lid. It includes ports for ventilator tubing and MRI coil leads, ensuring seamless integration with hospital equipment.
Technical Specifications
The Scan Pod supports infants up to 8kg, with dimensions of 1400mm x 430mm x 380mm and a weight of 15kg. It complies with standards CEN 1789, BS EN ISO 9001/2000, and BS EN ISO 9001/1994.
Conclusion
The Scan Pod offers a comprehensive solution for neonatal imaging, ensuring safe, comfortable, and efficient transport and imaging of infants away from the NICU.

Typically, transporting an infant patient from the NICU to the MR unit for imaging provides several logistical challenges to the team caring for and imaging the patient. There may not always be an MR unit close to the NICU. A full MRI compatible transport incubator is expensive,...
