The MagnaWand tool
is a dynamic idea intended to make the radiology areas safer,
cleaner and a more enjoyable environment to work and stay in.
Initially designed to be used exclusively in the MRI bore and
PET scanner tunnel, it is also recommended for CAT scanner areas,
X RAY units, or any radiology equipment where patients are scanned
routinely every day. The MagnaWand disposable is for mild cleaning
and disinfecting.
Attach the disposable to the tool by aligning the MW logo
of the disposable with the MagnaWandTM logo of the tool, make
sure your fingers hold tightly onto the plastic portion of the
disposable, until a snap/click is felt or heard, as in picture
to the right.
Apply a generous amount of Aerosol or any cleaner
or any disinfectant to the MW disposable sponge side.
Start cleaning the inside of the magnet in a circular or
straight motion as desired. Apply more disinfectant as needed.
You can clean any other areas as needed in the same fashion.
Once the intended area has been cleaned and
disinfected, detach the disposable MW from the tool by holding
the tool with one hand in the middle and with the other hand
sliding the sleeve forward. The disposable MW will eject forward
into a garbage can or any other area intended to be discarded
waste.
