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’s the right way to position the stereo transducer for best sound inside the MRI room?

Most facilities mount the transducer at the foot of the bore, angled slightly toward the patient’s head. This setup helps evenly distribute sound through the tubing and minimizes any acoustic shadowing caused by the magnet housing. Keeping the unit away from high-gradient areas also helps preserve image quality.

2. How do I connect the MRI Stereo Transducer to my existing sound system?

It connects through standard dual BNC connectors, so it’s compatible with most MRI Med systems and other control units. Most sites route the cables through their existing penetration panel to the control room amplifier — setup usually takes just a few minutes and doesn’t require software configuration.

3. What kind of maintenance does the transducer need over time?

The transducer itself is low-maintenance, but regular checks help extend its life. Most sites wipe down the enclosure monthly, inspect tubing connections for wear, and verify that both channels are delivering clear, balanced output. Routine inspection during preventive maintenance helps catch small issues before they affect audio quality.
