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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Aluminum 16-Inch Push Side Rail MR Conditional for use in MRI environments?

Yes. The Aluminum 16-Inch Push Side Rail is MR Conditional, designed and tested in accordance with ASTM F2503standards for MRI environments up to 3 Tesla. The side rail’s low-ferrous aluminum construction minimizes magnetic attraction and interference, allowing safe use in MRI Zones III and IV when installed on MR Conditional carts.

What is the purpose of the 16-inch push side rail on MRI carts?

This side rail serves two key functions: it provides a secure grip point for safely pushing or pulling MRI carts, and it acts as a mounting surface for accessories like sharps containers, waste bins, or label dispensers. By improving cart mobility and organization, it helps streamline workflow and reduces clutter around the magnet room.

What materials are used, and how do they support MR Conditional performance?

The rail is constructed from high-strength, low-ferrous aluminum, which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight — ideal for MRI environments. It contains no ferromagnetic components that could pose a projectile risk or interfere with imaging. The smooth surface is easy to clean using hospital-grade disinfectants approved for MRI use.

Which MRI carts and accessories are compatible with this side rail?

The Aluminum 16-Inch Push Side Rail is designed to integrate seamlessly with MRI Med’s MR Conditional emergency and anesthesia carts, as well as other models that feature standard side-rail mounts. It can accommodate a range of compatible accessories, including tilt bins, tape dispensers, waste containers, and cardiac board brackets, enhancing versatility and workflow customization.

What are the installation and maintenance recommendations?

Installation is quick and straightforward — the rail attaches securely to the cart’s pre-drilled mounting points using standard hardware. Once in place, it requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure stability, and clean the surface regularly with non-corrosive disinfectants to maintain hygiene and long-term performance in MRI environments.
