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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are the 801801B syringe kits fully compatible with both the Optistar Elite and Optistar LE MRI injectors?

Most techs search for “Optistar 801801B syringe compatibility,” and these kits are built specifically to match the injector interfaces on the Optistar Elite and Optistar LE systems. Since they follow the OEM-equivalent 801801B design, the syringes load cleanly, the tubing and spike assemblies connect without leaks, and the injector recognizes the setup without triggering flow or pressure errors. If your department runs a mixture of Optistar versions or older units, we can confirm model compatibility before you order so you don’t run into workflow problems on scan day.

2. Can these Optistar 801801B syringes be used inside a 1.5T or 3T MRI room during active contrast injection?

These syringe kits are non-metallic, non-magnetic, and intended for use with contrast injectors that operate inside MRI environments. As single-use consumables, they don’t carry their own MR safety labeling, but they are routinely used at both 1.5T and 3T when installed on the Optistar injector according to typical MRI workflow. Most facilities treat them the same way they treat their existing Optistar syringe kits—store them in clean prep areas, load them at the injector head, and use them during live scanning without changing their room-safety procedures.

3. What’s the practical difference between these OEM-equivalent 801801B syringes and generic MRI injector syringe kits?

When MRI departments compare syringe options, they usually care about priming reliability, injector recognition, and pressure stability during high-flow injections. These 801801B-equivalent kits are built to the same tolerances the Optistar system expects, so you’ll typically see fewer priming retries, more stable contrast delivery, and fewer nuisance alarms than with generic alternatives. Small design differences in third-party kits—especially spike geometry, tubing stiffness, or gasket fit—can introduce air bubbles or flow inconsistencies. If your site relies on predictable timing for neuro, body, or vascular studies, sticking with OEM-equivalent Optistar syringes helps keep injections smooth and image quality consistent.
