MRI Safety Device from Safety Stop

The founder of Safety Stop Inc (Valparaiso, Ind), Jim Doyles, wants people to stop and think before they enter an MRI room. To help, he developed the Safety Stop Sign, which, at 3 ft 6 inches in diameter, is too large to be ignored. Facilities install the sign in the door jam, and it can be customized to fit most doors. Also, the sign lists some of the objects that are dangerous in the MRI room.
