Handheld Ferromagnetic Detector for Patient Screening

Is ensuring the safety and security of patients and staff  paramount?  Adding walk-through metal detectors to your facility is a proactive measure to protect everyone from unexpected threats and enhance overall security.

Why Walk-Through Metal Detectors Matter:

• Immediate Threat Detection: These detectors provide a quick and effective way to identify potentially dangerous metallic objects before they enter sensitive areas of your facility. This helps prevent accidents and ensures a safer environment for all.
• Enhanced Security: By screening individuals as they enter your facility, you reduce the risk of unauthorized items being brought in, thereby protecting both patients and staff from potential harm.
• Streamlined Process: Modern walk-through metal detectors are designed for ease of use and efficiency. They offer fast screening with minimal disruption, ensuring a smooth flow of people while maintaining high security standards.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that there are measures in place to detect and prevent potential threats gives both patients and staff peace of mind, allowing them to focus on their primary roles without concern.

Integrating walk-through metal detectors into your facility is a smart investment in safety and security. It’s a practical step towards creating a secure environment where everyone can feel safe. Visit our website to explore options and enhance your facility’s security today.

Do you have an updated handheld metal detector? Z&Z Medical carries several metal detectors to meet your facility needs. Including our newest model – the 3-mode scanner for screening both ferrous and nonferrous metallic items and comes with a charger and carrying case.  We also have a powerful rare-earth handheld magnet that is ideal for screening possible ferromagnetic properties prior to entering the MRI environment. It also comes with a nice foam padded case to store when not in use.  If you’re simply needing a basic hand-held metal detector, our Garrett Super Scanner is the long-time favorite and top seller.  This one ships in just 24-48 hours.

Whatever the level of sensitivity that you need, we have hand held detectors that will work for you!  Reach out to our customer service team info@zzmedical.com with any questions that you may have or visit our website.

If you are needing a handheld metal detector for INSIDE the MRI Suite, we have that too!  Our newest Portable Hand Held Patient Screener that Can be used INSIDE Zone 4 of MRI Facilities!  A portable Hand-held Patient Screener with operator settings, allows the detection of magnetic metal masses or magnetic and non-magnetic metals at the same time. This is the ONLY hand-held MRI patient screening device capable of separately detecting both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metallic item. Detector provides protection from both adverse magnetic field interaction (projectile effect) and potential RF-induced metallic heating.

MRI hand metal detectors are a vital piece of equipment for every MRI facility. These detectors are designed to detect and locate metal objects on or within a patient's body before they enter the MRI scanner. This is important because metal objects can cause significant damage to the patient and the MRI equipment if they are present during an MRI scan. 

This unique MRI handheld scanner is designed to mitigate the risk of radiofrequency (RF) burn and projectile risk durin gn MRI scan. The device can separately detect ferrous mettalic items alone, or all non-ferous metallic items. Due to its non-magnetic device construction, it can be used inside the MRI room (Zone 4) itself, without the risk of being attracted to or damaged by the magnets, thus not comprising performance or creating a potential projectile risk. It can also be utilized as part of the pre-screening process outside of the MRI room.

This new MRI handheld metal detector features a large detection area for fast and accurate screening operations, with dual-tone and dual-color signaling that enables high precision pinpointing of item location. To maximize screening flexibility and versatility, three modes of operation are available: HEAD - high performance ferrous only for very small magnetic metals, BODY – small magnetic metals detection typically in the body, or ALL METALS - all metal detection around the whole body. Operability and safety of the device have been verified with up to 3T MRI scanners.

An MRI contains powerful magnetic field that attracts ferrous (iron-containing) metals and can cause serious injury; when ferrous-based materials, nickel alloys, and most stainless steel materials reach the MRI magnet’s fringe field, they can be strongly attracted, at high speed (up to 60 km/h), towards the bore of the magnet, known as the projectile effect. The magnetic field also causes translational forces, wherein the attracted objects react by aligning parallel to the magnetic lines of force. This effect has created life-threatening conditions for patients with some medical implants. And even in the absence of injury, metal objects can distort the MRI image and make it difficult to read.

Overall,this new MRI handheld patient screening metal detector is an essential piece of equipment for every MRI facility. They help to ensure patient safety, protect the MRI equipment, and are easy to use and cost-effective.
