Cirrus iNtegrated Practice Management Installs First Patent-Pending MRI Room Alert

United States, 24th Mar 2025 – Sound Imaging, a leading MRI product development firm, has successfully installed its new patent-pending, voice-activated MRI Room Alert System at Cirrus iNtegrated Practice Management located at 20116 Ashbrook Place, Suite 150, Ashburn, Virginia. Developed in collaboration with top MRI safety experts, the MRI Room Alert enhances safety, reduces liability, and accelerates emergency response time.

“We added an open MRI and it was far from our work area with very little hallway traffic. The MRI Room Alert provides us a way to communicate for remote MRI scanning as well as maximizing safety.”

– Dennis Prince, CRA, CPPM, Cirrus iNtegrated Practice Management

A Next-Generation Approach to MRI Safety

The MRI Room Alert is a voice-activated device that continuously monitors activity in the MRI room. When unique keywords are spoken, the system initiates a range of alerts, including phone calls, text messages, emails, and audible notifications. This added layer of protection helps ensure that urgent situations—such as a quench or a patient in medical distress—are addressed immediately.

Importantly, the system’s voice-activation capability allows staff or patients to trigger alerts even if movement is restricted by magnet-related incidents. By simply saying the designated keyword, the device will dispatch emergency messages in real time.

Key Features of the MRI Room Alert

• Emergency Notifications: Alerts designated in-house personnel through audible alarms, phone calls, emails, or texts in emergency situations such as:
  • Patients experiencing severe or life-threatening conditions
  • Assistance needed for malfunctioning equipment
• Customizable Messaging: Provides the option to call one individual and/or send emails or texts to up to six contacts, with user-defined messages.
• Quench Alerts: Notifies staff immediately if a quench occurs while in the room.
• Immediate Help Access: Allows users to call for help by pressing a button or simply saying “Call 9-1-1” twice, ensuring swift dispatch of assistance.
• MRI Room Alert Plus (Optional Upgrade):
  • Remote mobile-phone viewing of the MRI suite
  • Automatic audio calls and messages when motion is detected
  • Remote video access to see what is causing the alert

Disclaimer: All user-defined phone numbers alerted by the MRI Room Alert should belong only to qualified, MRI safety-trained individuals who meet the American College of Radiology’s Level 1 or Level 2 MR personnel criteria.
