2024 ACR Manual

Ferromagnetic Detection Devices (FMDS)

  • Permanently installed FMDS have demonstrated to be effective as adjuncts to the MR Safety screening process.

    • Patient Screening FMDS: at a distance from entrance to Zone IV(typically Zone II to III). For screening of ambulatory patients/subjects

    • Entryway FMDS: Final ferromagnetic check immediately before entering Zone Iv

  • FMDS should be optimally sited in Zone II and Zone III depending on the workflow of the facility

  • Handheld FMDS: Can be helpful to screen non-ambulatory patients if onMR Conditional transport equipment. pg 130**

One of the challenges at Children’s Mercy is to offer zero harm to patients. This is a tool that gets us much closer to that mark.

ZONE IV ENTRY CONTROL

Ferroguard Assure

The most trustworthy ferromagnetic detection system (FMDS) for MRI Zone IV protection. Eliminates nuisance alarms triggered by routine door movements to minimize alarm fatigue.

  • Enhanced MRI safety
  • Trustworthy, always-on-detection
  • Flexible application
  • Monitoring and data analytics
  • Smart technology reduces Alarm Fatigue
ZONE II PATIENT SCREENER

Metrasens Ultra

A vital patient screening system for MRI safety guaranteed. Highly sensitive and precise, the Ultra detects the smallest undisclosed ferrous objects on or within the body, including pacemakers and medical implants.

  • 5-zone location identification
  • Detection sensitivity optimized for small objects
  • Touch-to-screen operation for on-demand screening

Leading Healthcare Organizations Trust Metrasens

ferromagnetic detection systems for MRI safety

Ferromagnetic Detection Systems (FMDs) to significantly enhance safety standards and protect patients and staff from potential incidents, which have increased in recent years.

Additionally, the current regulatory environment recommends the use of FMD systems and mandates them for new construction, underscoring their importance in maintaining a safe and compliant healthcare environment.

Metrasens is a valued partner of design and construction professionals looking to integrate FMD detection systems as part of their projects, in alignment with MRI safety best practices.
