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. How do I know if the Noise Guard 29NRR Headset is safe to use in our MRI suite?

The headset is MR Safe, meaning it’s been tested and approved for safe use inside any MRI environment under any operating conditions. It uses no metal materials and has been validated by GE Healthcare, so it won’t interfere with image quality or scanner function.

2. Do patients really need this level of noise protection during MRI scans?

Yes. MRI scanners can reach sound levels over 110 dB, which is well above recommended limits for unprotected ears. A headset rated 29 dB NRR helps bring noise down to a comfortable range, protecting hearing and helping patients stay calm and still — which improves scan quality and reduces the need for repeats.

3. Will the Noise Guard Headset work with our existing MRI sound system?

Most likely. It’s built with a standard 2-prong adapter and fits seamlessly with MRI Med’s Mini and Full Sound Systems, as well as most major OEM setups. If you’re unsure, we can help confirm compatibility for your specific sound interface before you order. Adapters for most other sound system interfaces are available.

4. How should the headset be cleaned or prepared between patients?

We recommend using MRI-approved sanitary headphone covers — like MRI Med’s SC-100 or SC-103 — to maintain hygiene between exams. The headset itself can be wiped with non-abrasive, hospital-grade disinfectants that are safe for plastic and rubber surfaces.

5. What makes this headset better than disposable earplugs or basic MRI headphones?

Unlike simple earplugs, the Noise Guard Headset provides both noise protection and clear audio for patient communication and music playback. The cushioned, ear-muff design improves comfort for longer scans and reduces the need for repeated repositioning or patient coaching mid-procedure.
