THE STANDARD OF
EXCELLENCE FOR MR SAFETY™

SAFESCAN ®

Mednovus, Inc. is working closely with Dr. Emanuel Kanal, the lead author of the ACR MR Safety Guidance Documents, for needs assessment, practical clinical implementation requirements, and formal testing. (For disclosure, Dr. Kanal has no financial ties whatsoever with Mednovus, Inc.)

On Dr. Kanal's recommendation, Target Scanners have been purchased for all the facilities (20+) of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) in the greater Pittsburgh area. This is from Dr. Kanal:

“I am most pleased with the sensitivity, portability, performance, and affordability of the SAFESCAN Target Scanner™ handheld ferromagnetic detector and will continue to use it as an integral part of my patient safety screening.”

Emanuel Kanal, MD, FACR, FISMRM Professor of Radiology and Neuroradiology University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We invite you to contact PROSCAN to learn what they have to say about SAFESCAN, and why they chose to deploy SAFESCAN ferromagnetic screening tools throughout their entire enterprise (20+ facilities).
