| 16:00 | | Using FMDS to Enhance Screening Procedures & Benefits of Adopting a Ferrous Free Zone III Kellye Mantooth Keywords: Transferable skills: Safety Alarm fatigue is an ever-present problem in healthcare today, and MR technologists are not exempt from being affected by it. Ferromagnetic detection systems are one culprit responsible for alarm fatigue. Understanding how to use ferromagnetic detection systems to identify how well your screening processes are upstream, combined with well-defined MR Safety policies and procedures, and a ferrous free zone III, not only reduces alarms in MR departments, but reduces alarm fatigue which then creates the desired outcome of having a pause or stop when an alarm is present to identify the cause of the alarm. |
