MR Safe 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.

The BabyFix Cocoon is a specialized immobilization and positioning system designed to keep newborns and premature infants secure during MRI scans. Its ergonomic and adjustable structure helps maintain comfort while ensuring precise positioning for high quality imaging, without introducing safety risks in the MRI suite. Its design promotes patient stability, reduces scanning time, and minimizes the need for sedation, making it a valuable tool for pediatric imaging teams. 

Features:

  • Constructed from soft, supportive materials tailored for neonatal comfort and safety
  • Adjustable straps and supports accommodate varying infant sizes
  • Provides gentle immobilization to reduce motion artifacts during scans
  • Compatible with MRI patient tables and coils for seamless integration
  • MR Safe

Overall Dimensions:

  • 25”L x 10”W x 6”H
  • Developed to examine babies weighing between 4.4 to 11 lbs

Note: The BabyFix Vacuum Pump (PA-611) is used to remove air from the BabyFix Cocoon, enhancing immobilization for a more stable and controlled procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the MRI safety status of the BabyFix Cocoon?

The BabyFix Cocoon is MR Safe, meaning it presents no known hazards in all MRI environments. It’s built entirely from non-magnetic, non-conductive materials validated for use in scanners up to 3 Tesla. The design supports neonatal imaging teams who need a secure, worry-free immobilization option for newborns and premature infants during active MRI scans.

2. How does the BabyFix Cocoon improve MRI image quality for newborns?

The BabyFix Cocoon gently stabilizes infants to reduce motion artifacts, a key challenge in neonatal MRI. By keeping the baby comfortable and still, technologists can capture clear, consistent images while often shortening scan times. Many pediatric imaging teams find that it also helps reduce the need for sedation, improving both safety and workflow efficiency.

3. What materials are used, and how is the BabyFix Cocoon cleaned between patients?

Each cocoon is made from soft, medical-grade polymers chosen for comfort, durability, and easy disinfection. Surfaces can be wiped down with hospital-approved cleaning agents such as mild quaternary or alcohol-based solutions safe for polymers. Avoid strong solvents or heat sterilization. For added infection control, facilities often use disposable liners or sanitary barriers. All materials are non-ferromagnetic and safe for use in the MRI suite.

4. What infants can the BabyFix Cocoon support, and how does it fit with MRI equipment?

The BabyFix Cocoon is designed for babies weighing 4.4 to 11 lbs (2 – 5 kg) and measures 25 in L × 10 in W × 6 in H. It’s compatible with standard MRI patient tables and neonatal coils used in 1.5 T and 3 T systems. Adjustable straps and side supports allow precise positioning and secure alignment. For enhanced stabilization, it can be paired with the BabyFix Vacuum Pump (PA-611) to remove air and form a gentle, custom fit around the infant.

5. Is the BabyFix Cocoon safe for premature and newborn infants during MRI scans?

Yes. The BabyFix Cocoon is MR Safe and designed specifically for newborn and premature infants. Its non-magnetic, non-conductive materials ensure there’s no risk of attraction or heating inside the scanner. The soft, contoured shape keeps the baby comfortably supported and still, reducing motion and protecting delicate anatomy. It’s a trusted choice for pediatric MRI teams across U.S. hospitals and imaging centers.
