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.

The MR Conditional 20-inch Wheelchair with Flip-up Arms and Removable Footrests is purposefully crafted to ensure both patient comfort and safety during MRI procedures. Designed for compatibility with MRI equipment, this wheelchair is engineered to adhere to the strict standards required in magnetic resonance imaging environments. With its padded, flip-up armrests, it facilitates seamless lateral transfers, while the removable footrests offer adaptability to accommodate various patient needs. Additionally, its lightweight yet durable frame optimizes mobility, making it an essential addition to MRI products used in clinical settings.

This wheelchair, with a weight capacity of 300 pounds, is built to offer long-term reliability, featuring a 5-year warranty on the frame and a 1-year warranty on upholstery and metal components under normal usage. For added safety, it includes clearly marked MR labels for easy MRI safety identification and is rated MR Conditional to 3 Tesla, making it suitable for MRI environments. Trusted by healthcare professionals, this wheelchair represents the ideal solution for facilities seeking high-quality and functional MRI equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does MR Conditional mean for this 20” MRI wheelchair, and can it be used inside a 3T magnet room?

This wheelchair is MR Conditional to 3 Tesla, so it’s engineered from non-magnetic components and can be safely used throughout MRI Zones II–IV when you follow standard MR Conditional workflow practices. Facilities use it right up to the bore for patient transfers without worrying about magnetic pull or interference.

2. How do the flip-up arms help with lateral transfers onto the MRI table?

The flip-up arm design gives staff a clean, open side for sliding patients onto the table, which is especially helpful for limited-mobility or post-sedation cases. Instead of lifting over fixed arms—or removing hardware—you can just raise the armrest and move the patient in one smooth motion. This cuts down transfer time and reduces strain on techs.

3. When would a facility choose a 20-inch MRI wheelchair instead of an 18-inch model?

A 20” seat width is a go-to choice for facilities that regularly transport larger adults or want a more universal fit without jumping to a bariatric frame. It offers more comfort for broader patients while still staying maneuverable in tight MRI hallways and control-room entries. If your patient mix is varied, the 20” size often becomes the “middle ground” chair that stays in constant use.

4. Are the removable footrests helpful for patients who need extra mobility support during transfers?

Yes. Removable footrests give you more control during patient loading and unloading—especially when someone needs to stand and pivot rather than be lifted. Many MRI teams pull the footrests off during transfers to reduce tripping hazards and then reattach them for transport to recovery or discharge.

5. How durable is this MRI-rated wheelchair for daily use, and what kind of maintenance does it require?

The 20” wheelchair holds up well in busy MRI suites because the frame is built for continuous disinfecting and high-turnover transport. It comes with a 5-year frame warranty and 1-year coverage on the upholstery and metal components. Routine upkeep is simple: check the wheels, bearings, arm hinges, and footrest mounts during your regular equipment rounds. No specialized calibration or MRI-specific maintenance is needed.
