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.

The MR Non-Ferrous Stretcher is a cutting-edge solution meticulously crafted for imaging environments, particularly for use with MRI equipment. Built with non-ferrous materials, this stretcher eliminates interference risks, ensuring optimal performance in MRI settings without sacrificing patient comfort and safety. It boasts a robust aluminum construction, offering exceptional durability with a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds. Designed with healthcare professionals in mind, it features ergonomic and practical enhancements, including fold-down side rails for accessibility, a rubber guard bumper to protect surrounding equipment, and a 0-75 degree adjustable headrest with a supportive 3-inch mattress. These features make the stretcher an indispensable companion for facilities relying on advanced MRI products to deliver precise diagnostic results.

Tested at 7 Tesla for maximum compatibility, the MR Non-Ferrous Stretcher seamlessly integrates into modern imaging workflows. Its lightweight, yet durable frame and four 5-inch heavy-duty locking casters ensure effortless mobility and secure positioning during patient transport near MRI machines. Optional accessories, including an IV pole and an E cylinder tank holder, further enhance its functionality. With a 3-year frame warranty and reliable performance, this stretcher is a vital investment for facilities prioritizing efficient operations and high standards of care in MRI environments. Note that it is specifically intended for MRI-related applications and not for general patient transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the MRI safety status of the MR Non-Ferrous Stretcher?

This stretcher is MR Conditional, fully tested up to 7 Tesla, and built entirely from non-ferrous materials. It can be used safely in MRI Zones I–IV under its labeled conditions, which makes it reliable for facilities that run high-field scanners or use ferromagnetic detection at the suite entrance. The frame and accessories won’t trigger alarms, pull toward the magnet, or interfere with imaging workflow.

2. Is this stretcher designed for bariatric MRI patients or standard-weight patients?

It’s rated for up to 500 pounds, so it works well for a broad range of patient body types—including those who need more support than a standard MRI stretcher offers. The longer 80-inch platform and supportive 3-inch mattress help stabilize patients who may have mobility challenges or require slow, careful transfers into the MRI room.

3. How does the adjustable headrest help during MRI prep and transport?

The headrest adjusts from 0 to 75 degrees, which is helpful for patients who can’t lie flat right away or need to stay semi-upright due to respiratory needs, dizziness, or anxiety. Techs typically use the upright positions during prep, IV placement, or oxygen setup, then lower it smoothly just before transferring to the MRI table. It cuts down on repeated repositioning and keeps the process more comfortable for the patient.

4. What mobility and protection features make this stretcher easy to use in tight MRI suites?

The stretcher rolls on four 5-inch heavy-duty locking casters that track well around shielded doors and narrow hallways. A full rubber guard bumper protects scanner door frames, walls, and equipment from accidental contact—something that really matters in MRI environments where space is limited. Once positioned, the locks keep the stretcher stable during transfers.

5. Does this stretcher accept MRI-appropriate accessories like oxygen holders or an IV pole?

Yes. You can add an IV pole or E-cylinder holder, both made from non-ferrous materials so they can remain attached when moving into Zone IV. This saves time during transport because staff don’t have to detach equipment before entering the magnet room. For departments with moderate or high patient volumes, having MRI-safe accessories mounted directly to the stretcher keeps workflow smooth and reduces setup errors.
