Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ferromagnetic Detection Systems (FMDS) are crucial for MRI safety due to the powerful magnetic fields that can attract ferrous items, leading to dangerous and costly accidents. Early detection of these items is essential for the safety of patients and staff.

Importance of Ferromagnetic Screening
MRI accidents due to undetected ferrous items are real and can cause bodily injury or equipment damage. Guidelines for ferromagnetic detection vary by state and institution, with recommendations from bodies like the American College of Radiology (ACR) and The Joint Commission.

Detection Solutions
Different areas in an MRI facility require tailored detection solutions. ETS-Lindgren’s SAFESCAN product line offers flexibility in setting up safety protocols with various models like screeners and pass-through detectors.

SAFESCAN Systems
  • Single Pillar FMDS: Ideal for limited space, providing 24-hour protection with adjustable sensitivity and audible alarms.
  • Dual Pillar FMDS: Offers comprehensive coverage with high sensitivity settings, suitable for doorways or hallways.
  • Target Screener: Pinpoints ferromagnetic objects on patients, especially useful for non-ambulatory patients.
  • Screener FMD System: Aids in patient screening with on-demand scanning, preventing accidents before entering the MRI room.


Technical Specifications
SAFESCAN systems conform to ACR, Joint Commission, and VA best practices. They feature easy-to-operate designs, require no special electrical preparation, and are suitable for new or existing constructions.

Conclusion
ETS-Lindgren’s SAFESCAN systems provide superior ferromagnetic detection, ensuring the safety of patients, staff, and MRI equipment. The systems are supported by expert installation and training services.

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...
