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.

Designed specifically for MRI environments, our Low Center of Gravity MRI IV Poles provide exceptional stability, maneuverability, and ease of use. The weighted, low-profile base slides easily beneath imaging tables and surrounding equipment, allowing IV therapy to remain close to the patient while helping reduce the risk of tip-overs. Available in two base sizes with different load capacities, each model features a durable five-leg design with dual locking casters, four IV hooks, and adjustable height to accommodate a variety of clinical applications. 

Features:

  • Low center of gravity, IV pole with weighted base for reduced tip-over risk
  • Low profile base easily fits under most imaging tables and other room equipment
  • Four IV hooks provide ample capacity for multiple fluid bags and accessories
  • Five-leg base with smooth-rolling, dual locking casters
  • Durable construction designed for demanding clinical environments
  • MR Conditional to 3T

Overall Dimensions:

  • Adjustable height from 58" to 85"
  • Base Size:
    • OX-401: 24"
    • OX-402: 28"
  • Maximum Load Capacity:
    • OX-401: 29 lbs
    • OX-402: 44 lbs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a low center of gravity matter for an MRI IV pole?

A lower center of gravity helps keep the IV pole stable while it's being moved through the MRI suite or positioned next to the patient. This is especially helpful when multiple infusion bags or accessories are attached, as it reduces the chance of the pole becoming unbalanced during transport or while stationary near the MRI table.

Which base size should we choose for our MRI department?

The best choice depends on your typical workflow. The 24-inch base (OX-401) works well for everyday IV therapy and offers a 29-pound load capacity, while the 28-inch base (OX-402) provides additional stability and supports up to 44 pounds for departments that routinely use multiple infusion pumps, larger fluid bags, or additional accessories. Reviewing your typical equipment setup before ordering can help determine which model best fits your needs.

Will the base fit underneath most MRI tables?

Yes. The low-profile weighted base is designed to slide beneath most MRI tables and surrounding equipment, allowing IV fluids to remain close to the patient without creating unnecessary obstructions around the scanner. This can make patient positioning and line management more convenient for clinical staff.

Can the IV pole remain with the patient throughout the MRI transport process?

In many facilities, yes. Because the pole is MR Conditional for use in MRI environments up to 3 Tesla under the specified conditions, it can often accompany the patient from preparation through transport and positioning without needing to transfer IV medications to another pole. This helps simplify workflow while reducing unnecessary equipment changes.

How do the locking casters help during patient care?

The smooth-rolling casters make it easy to maneuver the pole alongside stretchers, transport chairs, or wheelchairs, while the dual-locking system helps keep it securely in place once positioned. Locking the casters during patient transfers or while adjusting IV lines helps prevent unwanted movement and keeps equipment where staff need it.
