SMI Imaging Center, San Diego installs its first Patent Pending MRI Room Alert

San Diego, Jan 2023 – Sound Imaging, a leading MRI product development firm has installed its new patent-pending voice-activated MRI Room Alert System at SMI Imaging Center, San Diego. Developed in conjunction with leading MRI safety experts, the MRI Room Alert seeks to increase safety, reduce liability, and improve emergency response time.

(Customer name followed by a quote about why, how, when, who, and/or where they use the MRI Room alert – Daniel to interview customer) 

“ We are a dedicated MRI Center and due to our focus on MRI safety is our utmost concern. I now feel much more confident when someone is in the MRI, anybody is in the MRI that we will be alerted to potential or actual safety issues.” 

“Gerardo “Lalo” Verdugo R.T (R) (CRT) (ARRT), SMI Center manager”

The MRI Room Alert is a voice-activated device that monitors the MRI room constantly. When unique keywords are spoken, a battery of alert activities takes place.  These alerts can be used to call, text, email, and/or sonic to announce a safety issue in the MRI room – a room that can turn deadly quickly.  The voice-activated feature is unique in that it not only works in the MRI room environment if one can reach the device but also can be activated if someone is stuck to the magnet. 

MRI Room Alert features:

  • Notify/Alert user-designated in-house personnel in emergency situations through audible alerts, outbound phone calls, and/or emails/texts from the Base unit. These emergencies include:
    * Patients experiencing serious or life-threatening medical emergencies.
    * Assistance required for malfunctioning equipment.
  • Ability to call one person and/or email and text up to six people with predefined customizable messages.
  • Notify/Alert during a quench while in the room.
  • Obtain help by pressing a button or simply saying “Call 9-1-1” twice. Regardless of the method chosen, help will be dispatched promptly.
  • Instantly view the MRI Room on your mobile phone with an optional remote (MRI Room Alert Plus).
  • Audio calls and messages are initiated when motion is detected in the MRI suite (MRI Room Alert Plus).
  • Gain remote video access to see what is causing the alert (MRI Room Alert Plus).
  • And many more features.

*Disclaimer, all user-defined phone numbers that are alerted by the MRI Room Alert should only be to qualified MRI safety-trained individuals that fit the ACR’s description of either Level 1 or Level 2 MR personnel.
