The Problem
Before entering MRI rooms, patients are required to surrender any ferrous material, but they often make mistakes, such as taking in belt buckles made from ferrous material. It’s this human error that presents personal risk – and a significant financial penalty.
Not only does this pose a significant risk to the patient’s life, but each projectile effect event is estimated to cost an average of $43,172. Furthermore, the emergency costs of shutting down an MRI machine can cost anywhere between $20,000 and $500,000.
Industry Recognition & Experience
In 2010, the Metrasens “Advanced Ferromagetic Detection System” was named the winner of the Design Week Awards.
Smallfry has applied their experience and expertise to a wide range of projects, helping to develop the very best products across all markets. This hospital security range is just one example of the work we have done for our clients within the medical and industrial sectors.
