As ACR regulations become more strict with MR Unsafe items entering Zone III, set your facility up for success with this MR Unsafe Holding Point Sign with Tether. Featuring a self-adhesive sign, eye plate for mounting, and your choice of a 10-foot standard tether, or 10-foot tether with combination lock, this safety sign is the perfect visual reminder for staff entering the MRI Suite to safely tether MR Unsafe transportation away from Zone IV, and exchange them for MR Conditional options instead. Install the sign in a clearly visible location outside of any applicable magnetic field (gauss) boundary and sufficiently removed from the entrance to Zone IV. This item is MR Unsafe and is designed for use in Zones II or III.

This product is intended as a visual reminder only. The tether cable and sign are not designed to restrain, secure, or stop equipment from moving toward the MRI system. The sign and tether are not weight-bearing and should never be relied upon as a physical restraint against the magnetic field, a safety device, or substitute for established MRI safety policies, staff training, or proper equipment screening.

Frequently Asked Questions

How would this holding point fit into our existing MRI safety workflow?

The holding point can give staff a consistent place to stop MR Unsafe equipment before moving farther into the controlled MRI area. Facilities can build that step into their existing screening and equipment-transfer process so staff know exactly where unsafe equipment should remain before an appropriate replacement is brought in.

Can we use the holding point for wheelchairs, stretchers, and other transport equipment?

It can be used as a designated stopping location for MR Unsafe transport equipment that should not continue toward the scanner. The facility should still confirm that each piece of equipment is properly classified and follow its normal screening procedures before anything moves deeper into the MRI environment.

Do we need more than one holding point in an MRI department?

That depends on the layout of the department and how equipment normally enters the controlled area. Facilities with multiple access routes or separate patient-transfer paths may decide that more than one clearly defined holding location makes the workflow easier for staff to follow.

Which tether option should we choose?

The standard tether is a simple option for facilities that mainly want a clear visual stopping point, while the combination-lock version adds another step before the tether can be removed. The better choice depends on how your department manages equipment access and how much control you want built into that part of the workflow.

Can this holding point be used together with floor markings or other MRI safety signage?

Yes. The sign can be used as one part of a broader visual safety system that may also include floor markings, zone signage, equipment labels, and staff procedures. Using several consistent visual cues can make it easier for staff and transport personnel to recognize where MR Unsafe equipment should stop.
