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. What makes this Heavy Duty Step Tool a good choice for MRI patient access and positioning?

This step tool is MR Conditional up to 3-Tesla, so you can use it confidently in MRI Zones II–III without introducing magnetic hazards. The wide 19" anti-slip platform gives patients a solid, secure surface to stand on, while the 26" anti-tip base keeps it stable even when assisting heavier or unsteady individuals. Teams often choose this model when they need dependable footing for transfers, coil placement, or table access in tight imaging rooms.

2. Is the MRI Conditional Heavy Duty Step Tool strong enough for bariatric patients?

Yes. It’s rated to support up to 1000 lbs, which makes it one of the strongest step tools used in MRI environments. The heavy-duty aluminum frame doesn’t flex or shift under load, and the textured powder-coat finish holds up to daily disinfecting. Imaging centers that regularly care for larger patients appreciate that it offers both capacity and long-term durability without adding unnecessary weight.

3. How easy is it to move and position this step tool inside the MRI suite?

Even with its high load rating, the step tool weighs only 6.5 lbs, so techs can move it quickly without straining. The non-magnetic aluminum design means it won’t react when repositioned closer to the bore during patient setup, and the angled rubber leg tips help keep it stable once placed. It’s a good fit for facilities that need reliable MRI equipment that’s tough enough for heavy use but still lightweight and easy to handle.
