SAFESCAN® STAR™ (Single Pillar System)
The SAFESCAN STAR single pillar system is ideal for automatic screening of patients and staff in an extremely cost effective manner. Utilizing the same proven ferromagnetic sensor arrays as found in the popular SAFESCAN® Intercept Pillar® system (dual pillars), the SAFESCAN STAR provides the best value proposition in the marketplace. Manufactured without compromise utilizing components of the highest quality, the SAFESCAN STAR single pillar system will give years of excellent service to MRI centers demanding the finest products available.
- Excellent for automated screening of ambulatory subjects
- Features the same proven sensor technology as Intercept Pillar® system
- Utilizes non-radiating, completely passive DC field to increase
sensitivity - proprietary patented feature which does NOT
affect imaging quality or patient safety (no magnetic pulses of
any kind; no need for shielding)
- 4 sensitivity settings allow accommodation to your environment
- The use of gradiometers to significantly reduce objectionable false alarms
- Variable-volume 2-tone audible alarm, and large LED lights atop
the pillar easily visible from all sides
- Night-light mode and sensitivity lock for after-hours protection
- No installation, "unpack-use" easy setup
- Instructional video included
- Mednovus' attentive client / product support is always available
- Mednovus Quality, Durability, and 3-Year Warranty
The SAFESCAN STAR ferromagnetic detection system has a fundamental (patented) technological advantage because of the utilization of a non-radiating, passive (DC) magnetic field to improve sensitivity and detection capability. This is especially important for detection of non-premagnetized ferromagnetic objects which have no magnetic moment of their own.
We emphasize that the independent field of all SAFESCAN® ferromagnetic detection systems is completely passive (i.e., DC) and there is NO electromagnetic radiation and no pulsed magnetic fields. Imaging quality will not be affected in any way, nor will credit cards be erased, and no shielding is required. Cell phones are unaffected.
The SAFESCAN STAR single pillar system can be used with pacemakers for medically cleared patients. (However, most centers do not scan patients with pacemakers in the first place.) The field diminishes to less than 5 gauss at a distance of 2 feet.
Since the SAFESCAN STAR ferromagnetic detector operates completely independently of the MRI fringing field, it can be positioned where it makes the most sense, a siting advantage.
The components of the SAFESCAN STAR are of the highest quality to maximize signal-to-noise ratio, detectability, and durability.
Note: With ANY ferromagnetic detection ferromagnetic detector sensitivity increases to the cube of the distance - 2x closer to the sensors results in 8x increase sensitivity.
SAFESCAN ferromagnetic detection systems are properly used as a double-check safety precaution AFTER the patient has been medically cleared to enter the magnet room.
