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. What is the MRI safety status of the Disposable Stethoscopes, and can they be used inside the MRI suite

These disposable stethoscopes are MR Safe, meaning they contain no magnetic, conductive, or metallic materials and present no known hazards in any MRI environment, including the magnet room (Zone IV). Because they’re built entirely from lightweight acrylic resin and other non-magnetic components, they can be safely used during patient assessments inside or near the MRI scanner without causing artifacts or affecting image quality.

2. Why are MR Safe disposable stethoscopes a good choice for MRI departments and patient care areas?

They’re designed for both safety and infection control—two top priorities in MRI environments. Each stethoscope is individually packaged for single use, helping prevent cross-contamination between patients. The ultra-sensitive diaphragm delivers clear, accurate sound while the lightweight construction reduces fatigue during frequent use. Because they’re ETO sterilizable and incinerable, they also support clean, compliant disposal after exams, making them ideal for high-traffic imaging centers and hospital MRI units.

3. How do MR Safe disposable stethoscopes compare to reusable MRI stethoscopes?

While reusable MRI stethoscopes are built for long-term durability, disposable models are the best option for quick turnover and infection-sensitive environments. They eliminate the need for cleaning or maintenance between patients, saving time and reducing biohazard risk. Their accurate acoustic performance and fully non-magnetic materials ensure dependable use for routine assessments or emergency monitoring inside MRI suites. Many facilities keep these stethoscopes on hand as a reliable, hygienic backup for MR Conditional or reusable models.
