The CEIA MSDW is not a traditional metal detector, it is a ferromagnetic detection system designed specifically for MRI safety.
While traditional metal detectors rely on electromagnetic induction, the MSDW passively senses disturbances in magnetic fields caused by ferromagnetic materials such as steel or iron.
This allows it to detect objects that could pose a serious hazard near MRI scanners without triggering on non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper.
Its passive operation means no emissions, no interference, and complete safety in medical environments.
The MSDW enhances MRI room safety by detecting ferromagnetic materials before they enter the magnetically sensitive Zone IV area.
It provides an early warning to staff when dangerous objects such as tools, oxygen tanks, or wheelchairs approach the MRI suite.
By identifying these threats before they reach the magnet, the MSDW helps prevent projectile accidents and ensures compliance with American College of Radiology (ACR) MRI safety guidelines, protecting both patients and staff from potential harm.
Yes.
The MSDW is completely safe for use around MRI equipment, pacemakers, and medical implants.
It operates passively, meaning it does not emit any electromagnetic energy or radio frequencies that could interfere with sensitive medical devices or imaging equipment.
This makes it ideal for continuous use inside MRI control rooms, corridors, or doorways leading to restricted magnetic zones.
Yes.
The MSDW is capable of detecting very small ferromagnetic items, including paperclips, surgical tools, or even steel fragments hidden in clothing or personal items.
Its high-sensitivity ferromagnetic sensors provide full-body coverage and can detect items carried on a person or inside bags and carts.
This sensitivity is essential for maintaining strict MRI safety protocols and ensuring no metallic object is brought near the magnet.
The MSDW should be installed at the entrance to the MRI suite, typically between Zone III and Zone IV, where it acts as a final checkpoint before entering the magnet room.
It can be mounted vertically on door frames, walls, or portable stands, depending on room layout.
This placement allows staff to verify that all personnel and equipment entering the area are free of ferromagnetic hazards, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.
No.
The MSDW is designed to be completely non-interfering.
Because it does not generate any active fields, it will not affect MRI image quality or interfere with any medical or monitoring devices in the room.
Its passive detection design ensures continuous operation in proximity to MRI scanners without compromising diagnostic performance or patient safety.
Yes.
The MSDW is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation.
It requires no warm-up period, emits no radiation, and can run indefinitely without performance degradation.
This reliability makes it suitable for busy hospital imaging departments that operate multiple MRI shifts per day.
It provides consistent safety screening for every patient, staff member, and piece of equipment entering the magnet room.
Yes.
The MSDW fully complies with MRI safety standards and ACR guidance for ferromagnetic detection systems.
It is designed to meet the strict safety requirements of healthcare and imaging environments, helping facilities achieve compliance with Joint Commission MRI safety recommendations.
Its proven effectiveness in detecting ferrous threats ensures adherence to the highest levels of magnetic resonance safety.
The MSDW requires minimal maintenance and no calibration.
It is a self-stabilizing system that automatically adjusts to environmental magnetic conditions, eliminating the need for periodic recalibration.
Routine cleaning and basic visual inspection are generally all that is needed to ensure reliable operation.
GXC provides technical support and training to help facilities integrate and maintain the system efficiently.

Simply walk past the wall-mounted detector at your normal pace. The MSDW scans the entire height of your body with high, uniform sensitivity, detecting any ferromagnetic or magnetized objects that could become dangerous projectiles in the MRI environment. No special positioning or procedures required.
Within milliseconds, the system identifies any ferromagnetic items and pinpoints their exact location across five detection zones spanning the person's full height. Multi-zone acoustic and optical signaling provides precise information about where the object is located, enabling quick response from MRI facility staff.
The multi-color warning light system instantly communicates the status: green for clear passage, yellow for detected objects below threshold, and red for items requiring attention. Accompanying alarm tones can be customized for your facility's needs, ensuring staff receive immediate, actionable information.
