GaussAlert™ is designed to help keep MR Conditional equipment outside of the MRI exclusion zone. GaussAlert™ is programmed to alarm when the preset magnetic field strength is exceeded. It produces an attention-getting audio alarm when MR Conditional equipment is too close to the MRI magnet.
Medical equipment that is used in the MRI room, such as infusion pumps, contrast injectors, patient monitors, anesthesia machines and others may malfunction and potentially injure the patient if not kept outside of a specific magnetic field strength. In addition, MR Conditional equipment can degrade the image quality of a scan if brought too close to the MRI magnet. With GaussAlert™, the possibility of equipment malfunction and image degradation is dramatically reduced.
UNIQUE FEATURES
CONSTANTLY MONITORS
the invisible magnetic field near the MRI magnet.
MR CONDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
kept outside MRI exclusion zone with the help of GaussAlert™
ACOUSTIC ALARM
is activated if the equipment is moved too close to the MRI magnet.
INTERNALLY-POWERED
with no need to replace the battery for at least 5 years
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
is not required.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GaussAlert™ is available in three factory preset gauss thresholds: 10, 30 and 100 gauss, based on the equipment manufacturer’s specifications
GaussAlert™ easily and quickly attaches to any piece of equipment that goes inside the magnet room.
GaussAlert™ compliments the function of our FerrAlert™ HALO detectors by monitoring equipment that has passed through the portal but still must be monitored inside the magnet room.
