Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes this 18-inch wheelchair a good choice for facilities that need a fully non-magnetic option for MRI transport?

This model is built entirely from non-magnetic materials, so it can be used safely anywhere in the MRI suite, including areas closest to the bore. Facilities choose it when they want a lightweight, all-plastic MRI wheelchair that eliminates the risk of ferromagnetic pull and reduces the need for repeated safety checks. It’s especially useful in high-turnover outpatient centers that want something simple, durable, and easy to move between Zones II–IV.

2. How does a plastic MRI wheelchair compare to a standard metal-frame MR Conditional wheelchair?

Plastic MRI wheelchairs like this one are lighter, easier to maneuver, and require less maintenance because there are no metal components that can corrode or loosen over time. For facilities that only need to move smaller patients or those with good sitting balance, an 18-inch plastic wheelchair is often more efficient than a heavy-duty metal-frame option. It also passes cleanly through ferromagnetic detection systems, which helps streamline patient screening.

3. Is an 18-inch MRI wheelchair wide enough for most outpatient imaging patients?

Most imaging centers find the 18-inch width works well for average-sized adults, especially in ambulatory settings or when patients can transfer with minimal assistance. It’s a practical “daily-use” size for MRI prep rooms and waiting areas. For facilities that routinely scan larger patients, the 20-inch version or a bariatric MRI wheelchair may be a better fit.

4. How does the foldable design help with MRI workflow and storage in smaller suites?

Because this wheelchair folds down quickly, it’s easy to store in tight MRI control rooms, hallways, or equipment alcoves. Many departments keep two or three folded units on hand for peak times. The lightweight plastic frame also makes it simple for staff to move the chair out of the room before scanning, which matters if you’re tight on space or working in an older MRI suite with narrow doorways.

5. What kind of cleaning and maintenance does a non-magnetic plastic MRI wheelchair require?

Day-to-day care is minimal. The plastic construction handles standard hospital disinfectants well, and there are no metal components that need lubrication or rust-prevention. Weekly checks of the push-to-lock brakes, rear wheels, and footrest pins are usually enough. Most facilities like this design because it holds up well in high-cleaning environments and doesn’t require specialized parts or service calls.
