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 the 21-inch MRI PVC geri chair a good fit for 3T MRI suites?

Facilities choose the 21-inch PVC geri chair because it’s MR Conditional up to 3T and built entirely from non-magnetic PVC components. That means you can park it safely in Zones III and IV without worrying about pull toward the magnet or interference with coils, cables, or patient monitors. The 21-inch internal width works well for patients who need more room than an 18-inch chair but don’t require a full bariatric model.

2. How does the 21-inch size help with patient comfort and positioning in the MRI workflow?

The wider 21-inch seat gives patients a bit more room to settle, which helps with anxious, post-sedation, or mobility-limited patients who struggle with narrow seating. The ergonomic armrests make lateral transfers easier, and the independently elevating footrest keeps patients comfortable during longer prep and recovery periods. It’s a nice middle ground between standard and bariatric widths.

3. Is the PVC geri chair durable enough for daily use in a high-volume imaging center?

Yes. PVC holds up well to repeat cleaning and constant traffic. The solid-base construction prevents sagging, and the cushions are individually fastened so they can be swapped out one at a time instead of replacing the whole seat. Threaded-stem casters give the chair stability on smooth MRI flooring, which is important for patients who shift their weight or need extra support while sitting.

4. How stable is this MRI geri chair during patient transfers or when moving through Zone III?

The 21-inch PVC frame has a wide footprint that stays steady during pivot transfers, and the locking casters keep the chair in place when patients stand or shift. The adjustable safety belt is helpful for patients with balance issues, dementia, or weakness after sedation. Imaging teams like it because it reduces the “chair drift” that can happen with lighter, folding transport seats.

5. What should biomeds or purchasing teams know before ordering the 21-inch MRI geri chair?

This chair is built to order, so confirming your width and weight-capacity needs up front is important. The 21-inch model supports up to 375 pounds and slots well into general outpatient imaging use where you need more room than standard seating but not a full bariatric platform. Since it’s made to order, it’s non-returnable except in cases of manufacturer defect, which is typical for custom PVC MRI furniture.
