MRI Safe Head Sets

When an MRI suite utilizes MRI safe headsets, the potential for patient stress and claustrophobia is greatly decreased. The loud noises made by the MRI machine during an exam can make it very difficult for a patient to remain calm through the procedure. Non-magnetic headsets are a valuable contributor to inhibiting that problem. Blocking out the sound of the gradient amplifiers is vital, as the volume is so loud it not only causes patient stress but is dangerous to the ears. The importance of MRI noise guards should never be underestimated, as they shield the ears from the unsafe amplification of MRI scanners. The MRI compatible headsets from Universal Medical Inc. are comfortable and an easy fit, while protecting the ears effectively at the same time. The MRI safe headphones offered work with almost any MRI music system.
The MRI hearing protection available from Universal Medical Inc. is beneficial to applicable hospitals and health care facilities in the following ways:

• Allowing patients to listen to music assists with the reduction of anxiety, and enables patients to relax and better cope with stress and claustrophobia while inside the scanner.
• Increases productivity by helping inhibit the call for repeat scans when patients can’t remain still during the procedure.
• Sets are compatible with the majority of MRI sound systems available.
• Are non-magnetic and completely safe for use inside an MRI suite.

It’s a well known fact that the noise inside an MRI machine can be as loud as a jet engine, and securing the safety of the patients, by defending against that noise, is absolutely fundamental for any operating MRI suite. Equipping your facility with MRI safe headsets will increase productivity by preventing the need of repeat scans because of a blurred image caused by patients moving during the procedure, and it is the safe and reliable step towards eliminating claustrophobia and patient anxiety.
