CEIA PD240CH-Z4 — Dual Sensing Hand-Held Ferromagnetic Detector — Zone IV

The CEIA PD240CH-Z4 is a hand-held ferromagnetic detection system with dual sensing capability, designed for patient screening prior to an MRI exam. Its key feature is its fully non-ferromagnetic construction, allowing it to be used directly inside the examination room (Zone IV) without risk of being attracted or damaged by the magnet, without compromising performance or creating a potential projectile risk.

The only hand-held device capable of separately detecting both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals, the PD240CH-Z4 provides protection from adverse magnetic field interaction and potential RF-induced metallic heating. MRI compatibility has been verified and validated with magnets up to 7T.

The device features three analysis modes selectable according to clinical needs: all metals detection on the full body, ferrous metals detection on the body, or ferrous metals detection on the head. The control interface is fully customizable via the HHMD configuration tool.

High precision pinpointing is achieved through dual-tone audio signalling and a dual-colour display, enabling accurate localization of detected metal objects. Alerts are available in audible and visual modes.

Analysis modes

• All metals: high sensitivity to all types of metals (implanted medical devices, prostheses, metal splinters)
• Body: high sensitivity to small ferromagnetic metals (ferromagnetic fragments, surgical instruments) — insensitive to large non-ferromagnetic prostheses
• Head: high sensitivity to very small ferromagnetic metals — insensitive to non-ferromagnetic dental implants and small prostheses
