FerrAlert Halo II

The FerrAlert Halo II is present at the 7T only

FerrAlert™ Halo II guards at the entrance into the MRI exam room. It provides detection and prevention of ferromagnetic threats from entering the scanner room. The FerrAlert will give a warning when a ferrous object approaches the scanner room. The greater the threat, the further away the pre-warning is activated. This will first be a YELLOW LIGHT at the top of the Halo. Followed by FLASHING RED LIGHTS when a large ferromagnetic object is approaching the portal. The Halo will go into Alarm Mode when the infrared beam at the bottom of the halo is interrupted. If a thread is detected at this stage, an AUDIO ALARM will go off combined with RED LIGHT at the location of the threat will be activated.
