SEARCHABLE DATABASE: NEWEST TOOL FOR MRI IMPLANT SAFETY The MRI safety status of medical implant devices can be difficult to track because many manufacturers: · Re-name their companies · Sell their medical devices to other companies · Go out of business · Discontinue certain implant devices · Merge with other companies · And, holding companies move medical device ownership from company to company
Dozens of these transactions transpire annually, bringing confusion and obfuscation to MRI techs, who need to be certain of an implanted device’s MRI safety status before scanning. After seven or eight years of this merger and acquisition activity, the status of many implants can become impossible to find. MRI technologists, too often given the sketchiest of information, can spend hours looking for safety status, or materials of construction, to determine if a scan is safe. Even if the search is successful, most sites have no method to ultimately store the data or retrieve it for use later. An MRI site’s source of implant safety information can quickly degrade to a paperback book and an unmanageable manila folder of faxes. Compounding the problem, are new safety definition standards; more powerful scanners; and implants from overseas. A searchable database to store MRI specific information with multiple search options to retrieve manufacturer’s information and published data, would be an invaluable tool to free up technologist’s time and eliminate duplicate research for MRI safety information! |

Mednovus Projectile Protection on “Ask an MRI Safety Expert” “Pardon me, but could you spare $43,172?” No, this isn’t about Federal banking bailouts or corporate welfare. According to Tobias GIlk, President of Mednovus, this is the cost, in real-world dollars, of an average single MRI projectile accident in the VA Healthcare system. The greatest threats in the MRI environment are from the profound magnetic fields. This is true both for implants and missile objects brought into the MRI room. Mednovus offers a full compliment of ferromagnetic detectors, including the affordable SAFESCAN® Target Scanner. Mednovus will help you protect your patients, your staff, and millions of dollars of MRI equipment. Contact information for Mednovus and Tobias GIlk now resides on the MagResource “Ask an MRI Safety Expert” page. See www.mednovus.com for more about SAFESCAN. |
