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. Is the 16" MRI step stool with a handle stable enough for helping patients onto the MRI table?

Yes. The wide 16" x 12" platform paired with the 41" handrail gives patients a secure place to step and something reliable to hold onto. Facilities use this model specifically when they need extra balance support during table entry, especially for elderly patients, bariatric patients, or anyone with mobility challenges.

2. Can this handled step stool stay in the MRI room during scanning?

It’s labeled MR-Conditional up to 3T, so it can remain in MRI Zones III–IV when used under the stated conditions. Many sites keep it positioned near the gantry because the stainless-steel construction is non-ferrous and minimizes risk while still giving staff quick access for repositioning or patient assistance.

3. What’s the benefit of choosing the handled version over the standard 16" MRI step stool?

The handrail makes a noticeable difference in safety and workflow. Staff can guide patients more confidently, and patients feel more secure stepping up or down. If your site handles frequent inpatient transfers or has a higher fall-risk population, the handled model offers extra support without taking up much more space.
