Description
A patented, non-magnetic cleaning tool designed specifically for MRI and CT machines. With MagnaWand, hospitals can efficiently clean between patients without losing valuable scanning time.
Patent number: US 7,904,987 B2
The MagnaWand reaches inside the MRI magnet bore or CT gantry, allowing for quick and effective cleaning of hard-to-reach areas in seconds. Its disposable pads are designed for use with any spray disinfectant or cleaning solution. After cleaning, the disposable pad can be ejected without hand contact, reducing the risk of contamination.
Originally developed for use in MRI bores and PET scanner tunnels, the MagnaWand is also suitable for CT scanner areas, X-ray units, and other radiology equipment where patients are scanned daily.
The MagnaWand disposable pads are designed for mild cleaning and disinfection. If heavy dirt, excessive blood, or strong bacterial contamination is suspected, a professional cleaning service should be used.
How to Use the MagnaWand
- Attach the disposable pad: Align the MW logo on the pad with the MagnaWand™ logo on the tool. Hold the plastic portion of the disposable pad firmly until you hear or feel a snap/click.
- Apply disinfectant: Spray a generous amount of aerosol cleaner or disinfectant onto the sponge side of the disposable pad.
- Clean the desired area: Move the MagnaWand in a circular or straight motion as needed. Apply more disinfectant as necessary.
- Eject the disposable pad: Hold the tool in the middle with one hand, and with the other hand, slide the sleeve forward to eject the pad directly into a waste bin.
The MagnaWand is lightweight, durable, and designed for deep access into the magnet bore, CT gantry, or PET tunnel—ensuring a safer, cleaner, and more efficient radiology environment.
Note:
The MagnaWand tool and its disposable pads are designed for light cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting only—avoid any other use. They are not intended for heavy scrubbing or use on rough or abrasive surfaces. For optimal safety and hygiene, wearing exam gloves while cleaning is recommended.
