MR Conditional What does this mean?

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

The 22-inch wide non-ferrous wheelchair is expertly designed for environments where ferrous materials are restricted, such as healthcare facilities with MRI equipment. Made from premium non-magnetic materials, including titanium, aluminum, and plastic, this wheelchair ensures safety and compatibility near sensitive MRI products while delivering dependable performance. Its robust construction supports a weight capacity of up to 350 pounds, making it both durable and versatile for patient transport. Key features include flip-up padded arms for enhanced comfort and accessibility, push-to-lock wheel locks for added security, and swing-away detachable footrests to facilitate easy patient transfers. For added flexibility, it is compatible with optional attachments like an IV Pole, E Cylinder Tank Holder, and IV/O2 Combo Holder.

Engineered to meet stringent safety standards, this wheelchair is MR Conditional up to 7 Tesla, ensuring reliable functionality in MRI environments. Designed with comfort and longevity in mind, its wide seat offers exceptional user comfort, while the sturdy frame guarantees long-term reliability. The wheelchair features “MR” clearly displayed on the rear for quick identification and comes with a 3-year warranty on the frame and a 6-month warranty on soft and moving parts. Perfect for specialized healthcare settings, this wheelchair provides an ideal blend of functionality, safety, and ergonomic design for seamless use near MRI equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a 22-inch non-ferrous wheelchair instead of a standard MRI wheelchair?

Facilities usually step up to a 22-inch model when they need extra room and stability for larger patients but don’t want the footprint of a full bariatric chair. The wider seat gives more lateral support during transfers, and the 350-lb capacity covers a broad range of routine MRI patients. It’s a solid “middle ground” option for imaging centers that need something larger than the 20-inch size without jumping into the 24–26" bariatric category.

2. How does this wheelchair handle MRI environments up to 7 Tesla?

It’s labeled MR Conditional up to 7T and built entirely from non-ferrous materials—titanium, aluminum, and plastics—so it stays stable even in high-field fringe areas. There’s no attraction toward the bore and no interference with imaging equipment. For hospitals that run both clinical and research magnets, having a transport chair that’s cleared well beyond 3T simplifies workflow and reduces the need for separate chairs.

3. What are the real-world benefits of a titanium/aluminum frame versus an all-plastic MRI wheelchair?

A non-ferrous metal frame feels sturdier during patient movement, especially for those who need more hands-on help getting into position. Transfers are smoother, and the frame doesn’t flex under load the way some plastic chairs can. Techs often prefer the “hospital-grade feel” because it handles repeated daily use better—important for high-volume MRI programs or inpatient radiology.

4. Is this 22-inch MRI wheelchair compatible with oxygen and IV accessories in the magnet room?

Yes. The optional IV pole, E-cylinder holder, and combination mounts are all built from non-ferrous components, so they stay safe in Zones III and IV. This is useful when moving patients who are on oxygen or need fluids running, since you don’t have to transfer equipment mid-transport or park multiple stands outside the room.

5. How does this chair support safer patient transfers in tight MRI suite layouts?

The padded flip-up arms and swing-away footrests open the whole side of the chair, which helps when transferring patients with limited mobility or when using slide boards. Even though it’s wider than standard MRI chairs, the frame’s geometry keeps it maneuverable in narrow hallways and control-room corridors. Push-to-lock brakes keep the wheelchair steady when you’re positioned close to the scanner table, where stability matters most.
