A Dependable Solution That Repels Fires and Attracts Safety in MRI Rooms

MRIs are an integral part of healthcare operations across the world. Thousands of patients and doctors depend on MRIs for diagnosis of various ailments, so that lives can be saved. But this life saving machine is also prone to accidents due to the adverse effects of its magnetic forces on metal or other conductive surroundings. Operating on high voltages, in excess of 1,00,000 V in some cases, further increases the risk of fire-accidents in this closed environment, especially because they have to be devoid of metal, so mostly plastic and fabrics, which are highly flammable, are used inside MRI rooms.

Normal Fire Extinguishers, made primarily of metal, are therefore not at all viable as a safety equipment for these rooms. In fact, they are more of a hazard than a safety equipment. Therefore, there is a strong need for a stronger, yet non-magnetic material, that can withstand toughest fires, but at the same time, remain within reach in MRI rooms' sensitive environments.

At Asan, by harnessing a strong understanding of fire hazards, combined our knowledge of varid fire safety needs, we have developed products specifically for MRI rooms, to ensure that equipment and lives are protected from even the most stubborn of rires. Our ingeniously designed fire extinguisher for MRI rooms is made from Non corrosive stainless steel with leak proof valve technology, that has a lifespan of up to 10 years. These fire extinguishers can be used multiple times, and to the last drop, owing to their highly user friendly design. With an extinguishing rate of 99%+ these extinguishers are both sturdy, reliable and robust.

Inside these extinguishers, is a Clean Agent that is odorless and colorless liquefied gas. Clean Agent is non-conductive and non-magnetic to sufficient tesla levels, and is also composed of eco-friendly materials that do not harm the environment. The agent is also easily available in the market, eliminating the problem of refilling.

MRI rooms are vital to human vitality, and with our MRI safe fire extinguishers, we are protecting the equipment designed to protect human lives.
