MR Conditional What does this mean?
MR Safe

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

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

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 MRI geri chair a good choice for use near a 3T magnet?

This PVC geri chair is MR Conditional up to 3T and built without any ferromagnetic components, which is what MRI teams look for when choosing seating for Zones III and IV. Because there’s no hidden steel hardware, there’s no pull toward the bore and no interference with coils or monitoring equipment. It gives you a stable, non-magnetic option for patient prep, recovery, and longer stays in the MRI suite.

2. How comfortable is the 18-inch MRI geri chair for patients who need to sit for extended periods?

The 18-inch width works well for most adult patients and keeps them positioned securely without feeling restricted. The independent elevating footrest helps patients who struggle with swelling, circulation issues, or difficulty keeping their legs down during longer wait times. Bent armrests offer steady support for patients who fatigue easily or need help with repositioning.

3. How does the PVC construction hold up to daily disinfecting in a high-volume imaging center?

PVC is a strong fit for MRI suites because it handles routine disinfectants without breaking down or discoloring. The cushions are individually secured, so if one gets worn or damaged, you can replace it without touching the whole chair. The solid-base design prevents sagging over time, which is helpful in facilities where geri chairs get heavy daily use.

4. Can this MRI geri chair support patients who need more stability during transfers?

Yes. The chair’s wide-set PVC frame stays rigid during side transfers, and the locking casters keep it from shifting when a patient stands or pivots. The adjustable safety belt helps hold patients who lean or have poor trunk control, which makes it a good fit for neuro, geriatric, and post-sedation workflows where stability really matters.

5. Is there anything biomeds or managers should know before ordering this MRI geri chair?

It’s made to order, which gives you consistent build quality but also means it’s non-returnable unless there’s a manufacturer defect. Most facilities confirm their width needs first—18", 21", 24", or 30"—since capacity ranges from 300 to 700 pounds. Because it’s PVC and non-magnetic from top to bottom, maintenance stays simple: check casters, clean cushions, and confirm the belt is intact during routine PM.
