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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When does a conductive patient shifter make more sense than a standard antistatic board in an MRI suite?

Facilities choose a conductive shifter when they want extra control over static movement during transfers, especially in rooms that tend to build charge quickly or in workflows with a lot of linen changes. Conductive materials help move static safely away from the transfer surface, which keeps the environment stable and reduces the chance of static-related disruptions around sensitive equipment. If your MR techs have ever dealt with the “crackle” you get in dry seasons, a conductive board usually solves that problem better than standard options.

2. How does the black 72" × 22" design handle larger or more complex patient transfers?

The 22-inch width gives staff a wider landing surface, which helps with full-body slides, bariatric transfers, or patients who can’t assist at all. The board stays rigid, even under heavier loads, so techs can guide the patient without fighting flex or bounce. The dark color also makes it easy to spot wear or residue during quick turnovers — helpful for MRI suites that run back-to-back exams and need a transfer tool that cleans fast and holds up under daily use.

3. Is this conductive shifter practical for moving patients between MRI, CT, and prep areas?

Yes — many hospitals use this board across modalities because the surface behaves consistently whether you’re transferring onto an MRI couch, a CT table, or a standard stretcher. The ten hand holes are spaced so staff can get a confident grip from either side, which is useful when moving patients through hallways or tight corners. If your workflow involves cross-department transport, this board tends to be a reliable “one-tool” solution that doesn’t slow the team down.
