MR Safe 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.

Create a more secure and comfortable imaging setup with a modular head support system designed to adapt to individual patient needs. This set includes six positioning pads in two thicknesses, giving technologists the flexibility to place support exactly where it’s needed around the patient’s head. The set provides multiple options for filling gaps, accommodating different head shapes, and fine-tuning positioning. Having the right size pad readily available can reduce the need to fold or layer towels, helping streamline setup and create a more consistent positioning experience from patient to patient.

Features:

  • Six piece, flexible head positioning set with three 1.5" pads and three 0.75" pads 
  • Position pads individually around the patient’s head to fill gaps and achieve a secure, comfortable fit
  • Multiple pad thicknesses can reduce the need to fold or layer towels for positioning
  • Soft, fluid-resistant 4-way stretch covers conform to the foam and provide a wipe-clean patient-contact surface
  • A durable replacement option for Siemens turquoise semicircular pads (Part #05515775), designed for Siemens Head Coil (Part #10496500) and compatible with other head coils
  • MR Safe

Overall Dimensions:

  • (3) Large: 7″L x 3″W x 1.5″H
  • (3) Small: 6.5″L x 3″W x 0.75″H

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check the fit for a head coil other than the listed Siemens model?

Compare the pad dimensions with the space available inside your head coil, allowing for the patient’s head and any accessories used during the exam. Compatibility with other coils does not mean the set will fit every configuration. If you need help before ordering, share your coil manufacturer and model with us so we can review the fit with you.

Do all six pads need to be used for every patient?

The six pads provide positioning options rather than a fixed arrangement for every exam. Select the combination that fills the available gaps and supports the patient comfortably within your coil’s positioning requirements. The full set gives staff more choices as patient head size and available space change.

Will these pads completely prevent head movement during a scan?

The pads help support the head and limit movement, but they cannot guarantee that a patient will remain still throughout an exam. Comfortable positioning and clear instructions remain important, especially during longer scans. If movement continues, reassess the setup and the patient’s comfort before proceeding.

What should we consider when cleaning the pads between patients?

Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions when selecting a cleaning product for the stretch covers. A fluid-resistant, wipe-clean surface does not establish compatibility with every disinfectant or cleaning method. We recommend confirming the approved cleaner and required contact time before adding the pads to your department’s cleaning routine.

How do we know when a pad needs to be replaced?

Include the covers and foam support in your routine equipment checks. Tears, damaged seams, or foam that no longer holds its shape can affect cleaning or positioning performance. Remove damaged pads from service and contact us for help reviewing replacement options.
