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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this MRI ear plug dispenser improve workflow in a high-volume MRI suite?

This dispenser holds up to 400 pairs, so techs are not constantly stopping between patients to refill containers or dig through loose boxes. The easy-turn mechanism drops a single pair at a time, which keeps the prep area moving and helps reduce cross-handling. Facilities that run tight schedules often mount one by the changing area and another near Zone III so staff and patients can grab protection quickly without slowing down the scan lineup.

2. Is the ear plug dispenser truly safe to keep inside the MRI room during scanning?

Yes. It’s built from non-metallic materials that do not interact with the magnetic field, so it can stay in the room without creating attraction risks or imaging artifacts. You can place it on a counter or mount it on the wall in Zones II–IV depending on your setup. Many sites keep it directly in Zone IV so patients can be fitted with hearing protection after positioning but before the scan starts.

3. What types of MRI ear plugs work best with this dispenser?

The dispenser handles most standard foam ear plugs, including bulk foam plugs, paired foam plugs, and higher-attenuation options such as 33 NRR or 37 SNR models. It’s especially useful if you’re stocking multiple plug types, since techs can load what fits their workflow and swap styles as needed. The built-in catch basin also helps keep dropped plugs off the floor, which supports basic infection-control routines and keeps the room organized.
