FOMRI™ I Fiber Optic Microphone

Single Channel Noise Canceling

The single channel FOMRI system is our basic noise canceling microphone for MRI environments. Based on Optoacoustics’ advanced optical sensor MEMS technology, this system is ideal for use with any noise reduction headset and easily supplements any MRI equipment.

Single Channel Features
  • Clear communications during MRI scans
  • Complete EMI/RFI immunity means no effect on MR imaging
  • Inherent noise canceling capability
  • Open membrane construction provides analog signal output noise reduction (4.8 – 6 dB)
  • Supports both headset and flexible boom mounting configurations for maximum patient comfort
  • Flexible signal outputs to medical hardware through separate audio unit, recorder or PC
  • Enables optical fiber lengths from 20 to 100 meters without signal loss
Accessories
  • Fitted disposable hygienic screens to remove pop noise and enable exact FOMRI distance and orientation to patients mouth (100 pack)
  • Zip coated fiber optical extension cord at any length
