The Rad-X Filter The Most Advanced Power Protection & Filtration System for MRI

Overview

The Rad-X Filter (“RXF”) offers a more suitable solution for safeguarding your MRI than conventional power conditioners and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Each RXF unit is custom-configured specifically for the Make and Model of your MRI and the final circuit that directly powers your MRI.

Benefits

CLINICAL: The RXF improves the quality and reliability of patient care by ensuring the underlying technology performs at its peak.
OPERATIONAL: The RXF acts as a proactive tool to streamline the management and uptime of high-value medical assets.
FINANCIAL: Revenue Protection: Every hour an MRI is down represents lost revenue. Improved uptime directly leads to higher patient throughput and maximized billing opportunities.

Technical Features

The RXF is designed as an in-line, series, low-pass, bi-directional, pi-configuration power filtration system that utilizes reactors and capacitors, along with transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS). Its primary function is to attenuate High Frequency Electrical Noise (“HFEN”) and Low-Level Voltage Impulses (“LLVI”) through three main mechanisms:

 

  1. Every time an MRI scan is performed, the RXF attenuates HFEN and LLVI generated by the MRI itself (load-generated) from echoing back into the MRI and degrading its electronic components, causing them to eventually fail.
  2. It attenuates HFEN and LLVI generated by external sources (line-generated) and prevents this unwanted energy from infiltrating the MRI electronic components, and causing intermittent disruption and premature component failures.
  3. It stops HFEN and LLVI generated by the MRI every time a MRI scan is performed from adversely affecting neighboring imaging and therapy systems that share the common 480-volt electrical system.

Additional Capabilities

In addition to attenuating HFEN and LLVI, the RXF effectively suppresses power spikes, transients, low-frequency impulses, and even transients caused by severe lightning and utility company equipment failures.

Installation and Warranty

The RXF is wall-mounted, preserving valuable floor space. It is backed by a five-year warranty, and there is no requirement for a service contract.
