TRANSPORT CHAIRS WITH LEVINA SCAN
The document discusses the development and application of metal-free transport chairs and other medical furniture designed for use in MRI environments. The focus is on ensuring safety by eliminating magnetic components, which can be hazardous in the presence of MRI machines.
RCN MEDIZIN- UND REHATECHNIK GMBH specializes in producing non-magnetic medical furniture, such as shower stools, wheelchairs, and walkers, suitable for MRI environments. The company has over 30 years of experience and operates in the USA and Germany.
MRI machines generate strong magnetic fields, measured in Tesla, which necessitate the use of non-magnetic materials in their vicinity. RCN develops furniture using synthetic materials and brass for MRIs up to three Tesla. However, for MRIs above seven Tesla, even non-magnetic brass is prohibited, prompting the need for entirely metal-free solutions.
The Levina scan is a metal-free castor developed for use with powerful MRIs from seven Tesla upwards. It is made entirely of synthetic materials, eliminating residual magnetism and ensuring safety. The castor supports up to 80 kilograms and is available in various sizes and configurations.
The Levina scan offers significant advantages for international use, as it complies with diverse country-specific regulations for MRI environments. It is suitable for use in MRI rooms, research facilities, and security gates at airports, providing maximum safety and load-bearing capacity.
The Levina scan represents a breakthrough in MRI-compatible medical furniture, offering 100 percent safety and synthetic material construction, as emphasized by RCN's managing directors.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SAFETY THANKS TO ZERO PERCENT METAL Anyone who has already held a magnet to a coin knows what forces can be unleashed. MRI images in the hospital are similar. In order to obtain diagnostic images of the body, the device generates strong magnetic fields. Therefore, in certain MRI areas, only devices and furniture that do not contain magnetic components are permitted. For this reason, our customer RCN manufactures special MRI products and relies on a completely metal-free castor that meets the high safety standards: the TENTE Levina scan. THE STARTING POINT RCN MEDIZIN- UND...

The Levina scan therefore exhibits no residual magnetism and guarantees the highest level of safety in MRI imaging. Compared to solutions containing brass, it has a higher load-bearing capacity and can carry a weight of up to 80 kilograms. To offer even more safety and stability, we have also carried out individual adaptations. The castor stems are adapted to the size of RCN’s standard plastic tubes. In addition, we have secured the Levina scan with a plastic screw on the frame so that the stem cannot twist. The castor is vailable a in 100 and 125 millimetre sizes, in a simple swivel castor or...
