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.

The Antistatic Patient Shifter offers a reliable solution for efficiently transferring patients in environments utilizing advanced MRI equipment. Measuring 72 inches in length and 22 inches in width, it accommodates various patient sizes while its lightweight yet durable construction ensures long-lasting performance. Designed with a low-friction surface, this shifter simplifies patient transfers, reducing physical strain on medical staff and enhancing overall workflow in imaging facilities. The antistatic design minimizes risks associated with static electricity, contributing to a safer and more efficient operational environment.

Equipped with twelve strategically placed hand holes, the Antistatic Patient Shifter provides a secure grip for precise and safe handling during patient transfers. Its robust and ergonomic construction is specifically tailored to meet the rigorous demands of modern medical imaging facilities. This indispensable addition to MRI products not only increases productivity but also heightens patient comfort and safety, making it a trusted choice among healthcare professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When would an MRI department choose the wider 22-inch antistatic shifter instead of the narrower versions?

Facilities usually pick the 22-inch width when they need a little more surface area for stability—especially with patients who are unsteady, sedated, or need more guided support during the slide from stretcher to MRI table. The wider platform gives techs more control without feeling bulky, and the antistatic surface is helpful in MRI rooms where blankets, gowns, and foam pads tend to generate static. It’s a good middle-ground size: wide enough for comfort, but still easy to maneuver in tight Zones II and III.

2. Can this antistatic shifter be used during MRI prep inside the room, and does it interfere with coils or imaging accessories?

Yes. Because it’s built from non-magnetic, non-conductive materials, it’s appropriate for use during patient setup right next to the MRI table. The board doesn’t introduce magnetic attraction risks, and it won’t interfere with surface coils or lead wires when staff are positioning a patient. Many imaging teams keep a 22-inch shifter nearby specifically because it provides a smoother glide during coil placement, reducing awkward lifting and helping staff maintain safe ergonomics.

3. How well does the 72" × 22" Aqua shifter hold up in high-volume MRI workflow, and how fast is it to clean between patients?

It’s designed for constant use. The surface resists wear even with back-to-back transfers, and the hand holes stay rigid enough for controlled gripping. Cleaning is quick—its finish wipes down easily with common hospital disinfectants, so there’s no special protocol needed. In high-volume MRI suites, techs like this model because it stores flat, doesn’t warp, and stays lightweight even after months of use. It’s one of those tools that just keeps the workflow moving without becoming a maintenance burden.
