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

Are the Breakaway Lock Plastic Seals MR Conditional for use in MRI environments?

Yes. The Breakaway Lock Plastic Seals are MR Conditional and safe for use in MRI environments up to 3 Tesla, following ASTM F2503 guidelines. Made entirely from non-magnetic plastic, they can be used in MRI Zones III and IV when attached to MR Conditional carts or equipment. These disposable seals maintain security without introducing ferromagnetic risk near the magnet.

What are breakaway seals used for in MRI facilities?

Breakaway seals provide a tamper-evident locking solution for MRI carts, drawers, and emergency equipment. They’re designed to show clear evidence if a cart has been accessed, which helps staff quickly confirm readiness for use and maintain compliance with hospital safety protocols. Once broken, the seal cannot be reused—ensuring accurate restocking and inventory tracking.

How do these plastic seals improve MRI cart management?

Each seal includes a unique seven-digit identification number, which makes it easy to track usage, verify contents, and log maintenance checks. This numbering system supports streamlined inventory management, especially in facilities that stock multiple anesthesia or emergency carts. It’s a simple, low-cost way to maintain accountability and operational consistency across MRI suites.

How do I apply and remove the Breakaway Lock Plastic Seals?

To apply, feed the seal through the cart’s lock loop or handle latch and pull tight until secure. Removal is just as simple—pull sharply to break the seal. There are no tools required. This quick-release design saves time during emergencies while ensuring the cart remains sealed and inspection-ready until needed.

Can these seals withstand frequent cleaning or disinfectant exposure?

Yes. The seals are made from durable, non-porous plastic that resists cracking and degradation from standard hospital-grade disinfectants used in MRI environments. They can be safely wiped down during routine cleaning without affecting readability of the identification numbers or compromising the breakaway mechanism.
