Introduction
The document discusses the development and application of transport chairs with Levina scan castors, designed for use in MRI environments. These chairs ensure 100% safety by being completely metal-free, addressing the challenges posed by strong magnetic fields in MRI machines.
Background
RCN Medizin- und Rehatechnik GmbH specializes in non-magnetic medical furniture suitable for MRI environments. The company has over 30 years of experience and operates in the USA and Germany, producing a range of products including shower stools, wheelchairs, and walkers.
Special Requirements
MRI machines generate strong magnetic fields, measured in Tesla, which necessitate the use of non-magnetic materials in their vicinity. RCN develops furniture using synthetic materials and brass for MRIs up to three Tesla. However, for MRIs above seven Tesla, even non-magnetic brass is prohibited, prompting the need for completely metal-free solutions.
Smart Mobility Solution
The Levina scan castor, developed for RCN, is entirely metal-free, made from synthetic materials, and suitable for MRIs above seven Tesla. It offers a high load-bearing capacity of up to 80 kilograms and is available in various sizes and configurations, including swivel castors with total lock.
International Advantages and Applications
The Levina scan castor is versatile, suitable for use in MRI rooms with metal detector locks, research facilities, and security gates at airports. Its metal-free composition eliminates the need for extensive research into country-specific regulations, facilitating international business for RCN.
Conclusion
The Levina scan represents a significant advancement in MRI-compatible furniture, offering 100% safety and synthetic material composition, as emphasized by RCN's managing directors, Volkmar and Michael Jung.
CUSTOMER REFERENCE TRANSPORT CHAIRS WITH LEVINA SCAN
Open the catalog to page 1ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SAFETY THANKS TO ZERO PERCENT METAL Anyone who has already held a magnet to a coin knows what forces can be unleashed. MRI images in the hospital are similar. In order to obtain diagnostic images of the body, the device generates strong magnetic fields. Therefore, in certain MRI areas, only devices and furniture that do not contain magnetic components are permitted. For this reason, our customer RCN manufactures special MRI products and relies on a completely metal-free castor that meets the high safety standards: the TENTE Levina scan. THE STARTING POINT RCN MEDIZIN- UND...
Open the catalog to page 3The Levina scan therefore exhibits no residual magnetism and guarantees the highest level of safety in MRI imaging. Compared to solutions containing brass, it has a higher load-bearing capacity and can carry a weight of up to 80 kilograms. To offer even more safety and stability, we have also carried out individual adaptations. The castor stems are adapted to the size of RCN’s standard plastic tubes. In addition, we have secured the Levina scan with a plastic screw on the frame so that the stem cannot twist. The castor is vailable a in 100 and 125 millimetre sizes, in a simple swivel castor or...
