Protect air quality in magnetic resonance imaging facilities

Safeguarding the quality of air inside magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities is essential to protect the hospital staff and the MRI technology assets, as MRI systems use compressed (liquid) helium to cool superconductive magnets in the MRI scanners. There is a potential risk of helium being released, due to equipment malfunction, power outage or magnetic or vibrational disturbances. The ISA-60M oxygen-deficiency monitor (with MRI-5175 oxygen sensor transmitter) provides continuous surveillance and alarm capabilities to safeguard workers in these types of facilities. — Enmet, Ann Arbor, Mich.
