MR Conditional What does this mean?
MR Safe

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

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

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

1. Is the Aluminum Oxygen Cylinder approved for MRI use?

Yes. The Aluminum Oxygen Cylinder is MR Conditional, tested and approved for use in MRI environments up to 3 Tesla when used under defined safety conditions. Its non-magnetic Aluminum 6061 T6 construction eliminates magnetic attraction and interference, allowing it to be safely stored and used in MRI Zones III and IV. It provides reliable oxygen delivery in settings where steel cylinders are not permitted due to magnetic hazards.

2. Why choose an aluminum oxygen cylinder over a steel one for MRI use?

Aluminum cylinders are both lighter and non-magnetic, making them ideal for MRI suites. Steel cylinders are not allowed near MRI scanners because they can become dangerous projectiles in a magnetic field. Aluminum not only removes that risk but also resists corrosion and simplifies daily handling. The result is a durable, easy-to-transport oxygen source that meets MRI safety standards while maintaining full performance and capacity.

3. Can this cylinder connect to my existing MRI regulators and flowmeters?

Yes. The Aluminum Oxygen Cylinder is fully compatible with MRI Med’s MR Conditional oxygen regulators, flowmeters, and carts, as well as most standard non-magnetic medical gas fittings. Using a matched system ensures that all components maintain MR Conditional labeling and function properly within MRI environments, supporting consistent and safe oxygen delivery throughout your workflow.

4. How should Aluminum Oxygen Cylinders be stored and handled in MRI areas?

Store cylinders upright and secured with a non-magnetic cart, rack, or wall bracket. Always replace protective caps when not in use and keep cylinders away from excessive heat or impact. In MRI environments, avoid bringing any steel restraints or tools near the magnet room. Following these simple handling practices helps ensure both staff safety and long-term equipment reliability.

5. Can the Aluminum Oxygen Cylinder be refilled by standard medical gas suppliers?

Yes. Most licensed gas suppliers can refill aluminum cylinders safely. Be sure to confirm that the supplier follows MRI-designated refill procedures and maintains appropriate labeling for MR Conditional equipment. This ensures that the cylinder remains MRI-compliant and ready for continued clinical use.
