The PD140 Portable Metal Detector is a device designed to detect metal objects
or masses carried by people.
It can be used for detecting small pieces of metal on people.
The special shape of the sensitive surface makes operation
of the device easy, unlike portable metal detectors with
ring transducers.
The PD140 Metal Detector is available in two versions.

| Metal Detectors |
| Please note: |
Metal detectors are not intended to detect metal items or implants inside the body. |
They will not pinpoint the location or even determine the presence of metal inside the body. A bobby pin in your patient's hair, a key ring in someone's pocket or metal on an item being brought in for use can be discovered with a high-sensitivity detector properly used. |
A metal detector cannot differentiate between magnetic and non-magnetic items. Its value lies in its ability to alert the staff to the presence of metal items. It is up to the staff member to determine whether or not the item has magnetic properties. |
A metal detector plays an important ancillary function. It is not intended to replace vigilance. Nothing replaces a well thought-out and implemented system for safety. |
A well-educated staff, screening forms, notices to emergency personnel regarding the special challenges of the MRI environment and the use of non-magnetic, MRI suitable products are all essential. A metal detector helps detect items that may go unnoticed by even the most careful professional. Use metal detectors outside of the scan room to screen people and objects to prevent items from entering the magnetic field and becoming a hazard. |
