MITS Gradient
Medical Implant Test System (MITS) for LF Gradient EMC & Heating Tests
The MITS Gradient is a Medical Implant Test System for the evaluation of induced eddy currents on conductive active implantable medical devices (AIMD) during MRI.
Medical Implant Test System (MITS) Gradient coil.
The system has been designed to deliver performance exceeding the requirements of the ISO/TS10974 standard for Active Medical Implant Devices. It delivers exposure levels greater than 165 T/s peak. MITS Gradient is capable of generating all pulse sequences as required in ISO/TS10974.
The coil design allows vertical usage and access for evaluations. The test system is calibrated and fully characterized experimentally.
The user interface allows heating, malfunction and malfunction custom evaluations.
