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.

The MRI Standard Prism Glasses are an essential product to enhance patient comfort and improve imaging efficiency. These specialized glasses are designed to help patients maintain a calm, relaxed posture during imaging procedures by allowing them to view their surroundings while lying flat. This feature minimizes movement, reduces the closed-in sensation often associated with MRI scans, and mitigates potential scan interruptions. Additionally, the prism glasses are particularly beneficial for individuals with cervical restrictions, head or neck restraints, or anyone unable to tolerate standard lying positions during MRI scans.

Features:

  • High-quality prisms ensure clear viewing without distortions 
  • 90-degree angle view allows patients to see outside the scanner 
  • Aids in reducing patient stress and anxiety
  • Lightweight and durable construction for comfortable, extended use
  • Ships with soft carrying case and cleaning cloth
  • Reusable and easy to clean design 
  • Universal fit suitable for all face shapes and sizes 
  • MR Conditional to 3T

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do MRI prism glasses help reduce patient anxiety during scans?

MRI prism glasses allow patients to see outside the bore while lying flat, giving them a visual connection to the room instead of staring at the scanner wall. This simple shift in perspective helps reduce claustrophobia, restlessness, and head movement, which often leads to smoother exams and fewer rescans. Many facilities use them for patients with neck restrictions or anxiety, as they help maintain positioning without added stress.

2. Are these prism glasses tested for safety in MRI environments?

Yes. These glasses are labeled MR Conditional up to 3 Tesla and are made from non-magnetic materials suitable for use during active MRI scanning. They can safely remain on the patient inside the scanner when used under standard operating conditions. The durable, lightweight construction also makes them a reliable comfort accessory for both inpatient and outpatient MRI suites.

3. How do you clean and maintain MRI prism glasses between patients?

To maintain clarity and hygiene, wipe the lenses and frame with non-abrasive, hospital-grade disinfectant wipes after each use. Each pair comes with a soft cleaning cloth and protective case for easy storage and longer lifespan. For high-volume centers, some facilities assign a dedicated pair per scanner or use disposable covers to streamline turnaround and meet infection-control standards.
