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 CAREvent MRI is a high-performance, pneumatically powered automatic resuscitator designed exclusively for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environments. As a standout among advanced MRI equipment, it ensures precise and controlled ventilation during imaging procedures, addressing the unique challenges of this critical setting. Designed to accommodate patients from infants to adults with 144 possible ventilation settings, it prioritizes patient safety and operational efficiency. The device’s fully pneumatic operation eliminates the need for electrical or battery power, while its synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) mode allows spontaneous breathing on oxygen with automatic cycling adjustments. Additionally, the air mix mode provides an option for 100% or 60% oxygen delivery, extending operation times during transport.
Engineered to integrate seamlessly into clinical workflows, the CAREvent MRI offers specialized features for critical care scenarios. Its robust functionality includes audible and visual alerts for disconnection, low gas supply, airway pressure concerns, and circuit integrity, ensuring reliability under demanding conditions. It eliminates the need for external PEEP valves or CPAP devices and includes a manual override for CPR to ensure compliance with resuscitation guidelines. With its ability to operate in MRI environments up to 3.0 Tesla, this essential MRI product is a reliable solution for resuscitation in imaging applications.
