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 is the MRI safety status of the American Macintosh blade, and can it be used during 1.5T or 3T MRI procedures?

This blade is MR Conditional, meaning it can be used safely in MRI environments when handled according to its labeled conditions. It’s designed with non-magnetic materials and a fiber-optic light path that avoids interaction with the magnetic field. Facilities typically rely on it for airway access in Zones III and IV, and it performs reliably at both 1.5T and 3Twithout being pulled toward the bore or causing image artifacts. When paired with an MR Conditional handle, it gives you a full MRI-ready laryngoscope setup.

2. Will this American Macintosh blade work with our existing MRI laryngoscope handles, and is the illumination strong enough for emergency use?

Yes—this blade uses a Green Label fitting, which is the standard connection type for MRI-approved laryngoscope handles. The fiber-optic light channel provides bright, focused illumination, which helps during fast intubations in the MRI room where lighting is often limited. The design gives you the same feel and visibility you’d expect from a traditional OR Macintosh blade, just built for the MRI suite with non-magnetic materials and MRI-appropriate construction.

3. How does this MRI American Macintosh blade compare to other MRI-approved laryngoscope blades in durability and workflow efficiency?

This blade stands out for its solid build and predictable performance. The gold-plated identification markers make it easy to spot in a mixed airway cart, and the ergonomic contour mirrors the standard Macintosh profile most clinicians prefer. Compared with lower-cost MRI blades that can feel flimsy or produce uneven light, this one offers stronger fiber-optic illumination and better long-term durability. MRI teams appreciate that it integrates cleanly into existing airway workflows without requiring new training or special technique.
