KOPP Development Inc. · Model FerrAlert™ HALO PRESCREEN
Instantly PINPOINTS location of the ferromagnetic object, allowing Technologist to quickly identify and remove the ferromagnetic threat – NO invasive PAT-DOWN required. Limits alarm fatigue – Patented technology suppresses irrelevant warnings and false positive alarms caused by hallway traffic. 24 location-accurate sensors for uniform sensitivity, reliability and usability. An intelligent pre-alarm indicator - Constantly monitors the ambient magnetic field and provides early visual warning of approaching ferrous objects. No-Touch Activation safeguards against cross-contamination. Consistent, unambiguous and simple Self-Screening or Supervised Screening. Most flexible installation options – perpendicular or parallel to the wall mounting or on a swing-away hinge to accommodate all facility needs. Unlike independent, dual pillar products, the portal configuration provides 18 detection zones as both sides communicate, maximizing sensitivity right in the middle. Unlike independent, dual pillar products, the portal configuration does not require constant re-alignment. Conforms to ES60601-1-8 international standards for medical device alarms (Does not cause alarm fatigue. No RED alarm lights, as color RED must be used ONLY in life threatening situations). Conforms to IEC 60101-1:2005 medical device specification requirements (Ferromagnetic detectors are not considered to be medical devices; however, they are an integral part of the medical environment. As such, it is highly important that the power supply used in the detectors complies with standards for medical equipment used by the FDA, UL, as well as agencies around the world.).
