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. What makes these MRI scissors safe to use near an MRI system?

These scissors are built from non-ferromagnetic materials, so they won’t be attracted to the magnet or create interference around coils, patient cables, or accessories. They’re designed for tasks where a non-magnetic cutting tool is required in MRI Zones 2 and 3, and for equipment prep that needs to stay clear of magnetic risk.

2. What types of cutting tasks are MRI scissors typically used for in imaging centers?

They’re commonly used for tape, dressings, soft materials, cable management, padding adjustments, and light procedural prep around the MRI suite. Their steady, ergonomic design helps staff make clean cuts during routine equipment work or patient setup without introducing any metal that could affect the scanner.

3. How durable are MRI scissors with regular hospital cleaning and disinfectants?

These scissors hold up well to routine clinical cleaning protocols, including the disinfectants normally used in MRI environments. The non-corrosive construction supports long-term reliability, making them a solid choice for facilities that need dependable, non-metallic scissors that won’t degrade or rust with frequent use.
