WHAT HAPPENS TO MRI SAFETY INFORMATION WHEN COMPANIES MERGE? |
|
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 |
|
Dozens of 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 later use. An MRI facility’s source of implant safety information can quickly degrade to an outdated paperback book and an unmanageable folder of faxes. A searchable database to store MRI specific information with multiple search options to retrieve manufacturer’s information and published data, is an invaluable tool to free up technologist’s time and eliminate duplicate research for MR implant safety information. No waiting a year for updates! MagResource is updated daily! |
