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 this left-side brake approved for use on MRI wheelchairs in a 3T environment?

Yes. The brake is MR Conditional at 3 T, so it’s designed to stay on the wheelchair as it moves through the MRI suite, including Zone IV. It’s built from non-magnetic materials that hold steady around strong magnetic fields, which is exactly what facilities look for when replacing high-use hardware on patient transport equipment.

2. Will this left brake fit every MRI Med wheelchair size, or do we need to match it to a specific frame width?

It fits the full line of MRI Med wheelchairs — 18", 20", 22", and 24". Techs and biomed staff don’t need to sort through size-specific parts; the mounting points are standardized so the brake installs cleanly on any chair in your fleet. That consistency helps when you’re rotating chairs through prep, screening, and MRI setup.

3. How well does this MRI left brake hold up with heavy daily use and routine disinfecting?

The aluminum construction gives it the right balance of strength and low weight. It doesn't bind after repeated locking/unlocking, and it tolerates common hospital-grade disinfectants without loosening or corroding. Facilities that run back-to-back scans often look for a brake that stays smooth even with fast patient turnover, and this one is built for that kind of daily abuse.
