RFoF1P4MED

TDS RFoF1P4MED System

The RFoF1P4MED is a miniature active electro-optical wide-band sensor system for induced voltage measurements. It was jointly developed with our Z43 partner organization ZMT Zurich MedTech AG (ZMT) and allows medical implant immunity testing for compatibility with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environments in a precise and easy manner.

RFoF1P4MED is compatible with MRI systems up to 7T. With the ability to acquire the complex-valued voltage signals in the frequency range from 10 MHz – 1 GHz, RFoF1P4MED fulfills all probe requirements stated in ISO 10974 Clause 15 for Tier 3 evaluations.
