The main drive in MRI safety right now is improving the consistency of defined terms and accessibility to essential information. Single terminology, CLEAR LABELING, and more information are central to MRI being conducted more safely around the world.  

Commercially available accessories such as furniture, wheelchairs, instruments, O2 cylinders, etc. can be ferromagnetic or electrically conductive. Those are not designed, thus contraindicated to be used in the MR environment and several health injuries have been reported as a result of incorrect or unlabeled items. 3 symbols for device labeling recommended by the ASTM are in stock and available for online purchase. Don’t make a critical mistake by not having proper sticker labeling on ALL items in your MRI department.  

It is important to prioritize safety training within the department and ensure that your department is properly stocked with MR Safe or MR Conditional room accessories. Z&Z Medical carries a wide array of MRI products for your daily use. Visit our website today or email info@zzmedical.com with any questions that you may have.

MRI hand metal detectors are a vital piece of equipment for every MRI facility. These detectors are designed to detect and locate metal objects on or within a patient's body before they enter the MRI scanner. This is important because metal objects can cause significant damage to the patient and the MRI equipment if they are present during an MRI scan. 

This unique MRI handheld scanner is designed to mitigate the risk of radiofrequency (RF) burn and projectile risk durin gn MRI scan. The device can separately detect ferrous mettalic items alone, or all non-ferous metallic items. Due to its non-magnetic device construction, it can be used inside the MRI room (Zone 4) itself, without the risk of being attracted to or damaged by the magnets, thus not comprising performance or creating a potential projectile risk. It can also be utilized as part of the pre-screening process outside of the MRI room.

This new MRI handheld metal detector features a large detection area for fast and accurate screening operations, with dual-tone and dual-color signaling that enables high precision pinpointing of item location. To maximize screening flexibility and versatility, three modes of operation are available: HEAD - high performance ferrous only for very small magnetic metals, BODY – small magnetic metals detection typically in the body, or ALL METALS - all metal detection around the whole body. Operability and safety of the device have been verified with up to 3T MRI scanners.

An MRI contains powerful magnetic field that attracts ferrous (iron-containing) metals and can cause serious injury; when ferrous-based materials, nickel alloys, and most stainless steel materials reach the MRI magnet’s fringe field, they can be strongly attracted, at high speed (up to 60 km/h), towards the bore of the magnet, known as the projectile effect. The magnetic field also causes translational forces, wherein the attracted objects react by aligning parallel to the magnetic lines of force. This effect has created life-threatening conditions for patients with some medical implants. And even in the absence of injury, metal objects can distort the MRI image and make it difficult to read.

Overall,this new MRI handheld patient screening metal detector is an essential piece of equipment for every MRI facility. They help to ensure patient safety, protect the MRI equipment, and are easy to use and cost-effective.
