When an MRI Emergency Happens, Immediate Communication Is Critical

Patented technology, made in the USA, and aligned with the ACR 2024 MR Safety Manual recommendation for “a readily accessible communication system or emergency call button within Zone IV that allows personnel to quickly contact security or request help.”

ITAS – Imaging Tech Alarm System

MRI Emergency Alert & Communication Solution

Move MRI emergency communication beyond overhead paging and manual response processes with ITAS, an MRI emergency alert and communication system designed specifically for use from within Zone IV (the MRI scan room).

ITAS enables technologists to initiate real-time emergency alerts right from the patient’s side, ensuring immediate communication with trained support staff during medical, technical, or environmental emergency events. All ITAS hardware is designed and manufactured in the United States, and engineered to work in Zone IV with no disruption with the RF or magnetic field. The system supports compliance with ACR MRI safety standards.

Unlike general-purpose alert systems, ITAS is purpose-built for the MRI environment, and is also compatible with all clinical imaging modalities. The system improves response times, enhances technologist safety, and provides a reliable, immediate pathway to trained assistance when seconds matter, and lowers facility liability.

Designed for 24/7 clinical operation, ITAS integrates seamlessly into existing MRI workflows without disrupting patient care. Each deployment is tailored to your facility’s MRI layout, staffing model, and safety protocols, ensuring consistent and compliant emergency communication within any healthcare facility.
