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 MRI right-side brake fully approved for use in the magnet room, and can it stay on the wheelchair in Zone IV?

Yes. The brake is MR Conditional at 3 T, so it can stay installed on the wheelchair as it moves through all MRI areas, including Zone IV. It’s made from non-magnetic materials that won’t interact with the magnetic field, and it locks the wheel firmly without drift. Facilities that run high volumes appreciate that the brake stays stable even during tight turns, patient transfers, and positioning near the bore.

2. Will this replacement brake fit all MRI Med wheelchair sizes, or do we need to worry about frame compatibility?

You don’t need to worry — it’s designed to fit all MRI Med wheelchair sizes from 18” to 24”. The mounting points line up across the entire chair lineup, which makes installation quick for biomed and consistent for techs. If your department rotates wheelchairs between prep, transport, and MRI setup, having a standardized brake means the feel and function stay the same across every chair.

3. How durable is this MRI wheelchair brake with daily use, cleaning, and the usual bumps during patient transport?

The brake uses lightweight, strong aluminum that holds up to constant locking and unlocking, plus the inevitable bumps against walls, rails, and equipment. It tolerates routine disinfectants without sticking or loosening over time. Most buyers look for a brake that stays smooth under heavy use, and this one is built so techs don’t have to fight with stiff levers or unreliable engagement during patient transfers.
