Silent Scan 3000 Audio System

Scilent Scan Audio System
The Silent Scan 3000 TM Series Audio System offers an outstanding level of performance and features.

MRI's are noisy. Whether you run a clinical practice or do fMRI research, gradient noise is a problem that you and your patients have to deal with. Higher field strengths and faster scans are only making problems worse. And you need more than just an audio system to solve the problem.

Silent Scan™ Hearing Protection and Communication systems offer more than just music. Designed specifically for MRI use, Silent Scan™ offers solutions for patient hearing protection, as well as solutions for patient communication.

And the technologist has not been forgotten. An easy to use gooseneck microphone for communication; simple controls that make sense; and tough equipment that sets up quickly. Silent Scan™ is a technologist's tool.
  • Patient Comfort is ... Hearing Protection
    Patient comfort starts with protection against gradient noise, the major complaint of MRI patients. Two different headsets means flexibility in hearing protection choices; the full coverage headset fits most head coils, while the stethoscopic headset can be used for very confining applications. Patient hygiene is easy with disposable covers and eartips. The sanitary covers for the full coverage headset are easy to change, and the soft eartips for the stethoscopic headset mean increased patient comfort. The new Scan-Lock Plus™ connector and tubing assembly makes changing headsets a quick and simple operation. The mesh covered tubing prevents snags in the MRI bore, and protects the tubing. The easy to clean surface is a great help with MRI hygiene. All this leads to happier and more comfortable patients, which means less time lost and fewer incomplete scans for you.

Silent Scan Headphones

  • Patient Comfort is ... Communication
    Most MRI patients have great anxiety about their exams, and their ability to clearly communicate with you goes a long way towards relieving that stress. Silent Scan's TM specially designed headsets have a built-in microphone channel that allows crystal clear communication between you and your patients. Patients will be clearly heard, regardless of their scan type or location within the bore. Yelling or repetition never occurs, because you and your patient will easily understand each other.

  • Real Friend audio headset™
    Having Mom, Dad or just a friend in the scan room is a great comfort to many patients during their MRI exam. Adding the Real Friend accessory headset to your Silent Scan™ system allows that comforting friend to communicate with both the patient and the technologist. Real Friend headset offers great hearing protection, and even better, your friend gets to enjoy the music too! Real Friend; a way to make friends really count.

    And if you are using one of Avotec's great visual systems, you should add Real Friend Video™ for the ultimate in patient comfort.

  • Communication Console
    The Silent Scan™ communication console has a flexible gooseneck microphone that is designed for the technologist's comfort. Since you no longer have to bend over to speak into an intercom, and the gooseneck microphone is always within easy reach, communication with your patients is effortless.

  • Patient Alarm System
    For your very claustrophobic patients, Silent Scan™ has a built-in patient alarm system. The alarm consists of a simple, hand held rubber squeeze bulb, that when actuated by your patient, triggers an audible alarm at the communication console. Just the existence of the alarm can be comforting, and its ability to alert you to a panicky patient is a great aid to both parties.

  • Patient Comfort is ... Music
    The beneficial effects of music in reducing apprehension in MRI patients is well known. Music, when used as a comforting influence, can set the tone for the success of your patients' visits. The Silent Scan™ headset allows your patient to relax to the music - free from gradient noise. Careful matching of transducer characteristics and filter design in the Silent Scan™ system provides a remarkably clear music signal for the wearer of the headset. Because the headsets offer genuine hearing protection, the highest quality sound can be enjoyed at a comfortable listening level.

  • Patient Comfort is ... User-Friendly Equipment
    Equipment that is easy to operate gives you more time to devote to your patients. All elements of the Silent Scan™ system have been constructed for ease of use. The Silent Scan™ console has only five controls, and in routine operation, only two of these controls are needed. The communication console has been thoughtfully crafted for easy operation, reliability, and long term comfort for you and your patients.
