MR Safe 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this plastic towel clamp suitable for MRI use, and what is its MR safety status?

Yes. This clamp is labeled MR Conditional for use up to 3T, which makes it safe for routine handling tasks in MRI Zones III and IV when used under the stated conditions. Because the clamp is made entirely from non-metallic plastic, it stays stable in the magnetic field and won’t interfere with coils, drapes, or patient-side equipment. It’s meant for non-sterile environments, so techs typically use it during setup, table prep, or any situation where a metal clamp would pose a safety risk near the bore.

2. What do MRI facilities usually use a non-perforating towel clamp for?

In MRI rooms, non-perforating clamps are popular because they give a controlled grip without puncturing drapes or padding. Teams use them to secure linens, lightweight devices, positioning aids, or accessory cables that need to stay put during patient prep. The non-sterile version is ideal for day-to-day workflows where clean handling is important but full sterile technique isn’t required. It keeps materials organized without introducing metal or risking damage to delicate surfaces.

3. Why would a facility choose a plastic clamp instead of a reusable metal one for MRI procedures?

Plastic clamps are the safer, simpler choice in the MRI environment. Metal clamps — even those labeled non-ferrous — still require screening, tracking, and reprocessing. Plastic clamps avoid all of that. They’re lightweight, fully non-magnetic, and consistent from unit to unit, which makes them reliable for fast workflow in high-volume MRI suites. Disposable clamps also remove the concern of worn hinges, hidden ferrous content, or corrosion that can develop in reusable metal tools over time. For many facilities, keeping a supply of these non-sterile plastic clamps on hand reduces risk and keeps exam turnover smooth.
