Abstract:
An alert system for providing the capability for a care giver or technologist in a medical procedure room such as the magnet room of an MRI installation to send an alert signal to personnel outside the magnet room. The system includes an alert device in the procedure room with an alert switch, and a wireless signal transmitter for generating encoded alert signals upon activation of the alert switch. An alert control system in the control room of the installation includes a signal receiver, an audio transducer and a controller, the controller responsive to alert signals received from the alert device to generate alert signals including generating audio signals from the audio transducer. In one embodiment, the alert device includes a microphone, with one-way or two-way communication between the alert device and the control system.

Claim (Index 16):
An alert system for a care giver or technologist in a shielded MRI magnet room to send alert signals regarding a patient undergoing an MRI procedure to personnel in a control room outside the magnet room, with a window between the magnet room and the control room, the system comprising:\n an alert device carried by or available to the care giver or technologist in the magnet room, the alert device including an alert switch configured for manual activation by the care giver or technologist, a microphone for capturing audio signals including the care giver's or technologist's voice, and a wireless signal transmitter for generating wireless alert signals upon activation of the alert switch by the caregiver or technologist, the wireless alert signals including signals representative of the audio signals captured by the microphone upon activation of the alert switch; a base station disposed in the magnet room, the base station comprising a receiver for receiving the wireless alert signals, a decoder or data converter responsive to the received signals, and an Infrared (IR) transmitter for transmitting IR signals representative of the signals from the decoder or data converter; an alert control system in the control room, comprising a signal receiver positioned to receive the IR signals passed through the window from the base station, an audio transducer and a controller, the control system responsive to IR alert signals emitted by the base station to generate alert signals including generating audible alert signals indicating that assistance is needed in the magnet room, the audible alert signals including signals corresponding to the audio signals captured by the microphone; wherein the alert device and the control system are configured to provide one-way or two-way voice communication between the alert device and the control system.
