ETS-Lindgren's newest MRI RF door, the MRDS, is designed to provide a reliable, economical door for your MRI facility. Similar to ETS-Lindgren's other RF doors, the MRDS is designed to be lightweight to allow for easy operation.

Key Features

• Lightweight
• Ergonomic handle design
• Easily replaced seals
• Acoustic versions available
• Key and Thumb Latch Lock
• Low Profile Threshold

Description

The MRDS door uses the industry standard "seal contacts" to provide the RF seal around the door, which are adjustable to increase or decrease the amount of force needed to open and close the door.
To facilitate access into and out of the MRI suite, a new ergonomic door handle has been added. Reducing wrist strain, the handle may be grasped in a variety of positions to most comfortably suit the MR technician.
The MRDS comes with a low profile door threshold. This prevents all but the most minute disturbance of a patient gurney as it crosses into or out of the MRI suite. The door construction is designed for durability while featuring an architectural style that is suited for most hospital environments. Either a wood veneer or laminate finish can easily be applied to suit the hospital decor.

Safety

For safety and security, the MRDS comes with the industry standard key and thumb latch door hardware. The door can be installed as an in-swing or out-swing door.
Another option is the 2' x 2' RF view window that can be placed within the door. This allows one to view into or out of the MRI suite, making sure that no one is immediately in the way of the door before opening it. The RF view window uses the same safety glass and double layer screen mesh as the control room RF view window.

Applications

Available in various sizes and con-figurations, the MRDS can fulfill many needs. While typically sold in a 4' x 7'’ size, it is also available in 3' x 7', 3.5' x 7, and 5' x 7' as a stocked item. Other widths and heights are available but may require some additional design and manufacturing time.
Typically, an MRI suite utilizes a single door for patient entry, however the MRDS is also available as a double door if additional space is needed. Again, a variety of door sizes and combinations are available:

• Dual 4' door leafs
• 4' and 3' leafs
• 4' and 2' leafs

If your size differs from above, please contact your ETS-Lindgren representative to discuss your custom door requirements. The MRDS door is suitable for all clinical, and most research, MR systems.
MR suites often upgrade to newer MR systems. Upgrading the RF door should be considered at that time as well. The MRDS door is ideal for upgrading existing MR suites. It easily and simply ties into existing RF shields with a typical installation time of a single day, two if the RF shield is not an ETS-Lindgren shield.

Performance

The MRDS door meets the RF attenuation specifications of all clinical, and most research, MR systems. If you have questions, or are unsure about your requirements, please contact an ETS-Lindgren representative for the appropriate RF door for your MR.
Optional STC 32 and 37 acoustic versions of the MRDS door offer enhanced sound attenuation when integrated with other sound abatement elements associated with both general MR suite construction and RF shield components.

System Installation

With a new RF shield, installation of the MRDS door requires a single day. The MRDS is also ideal for upgrading MR suites. It easily and simply ties into existing RF shields. To modify an existing RF shield, the installation typically requires a single day for an ETS-Lindgren shield and can increase to two or more days for non-ETS-Lindgren shields. Installations are site specific and vary.
