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.

The MRI Zone IV sign is a critical safety measure designed to ensure compliance and protection within facilities utilizing MRI equipment. This sign serves to clearly identify restricted areas where access is limited exclusively to authorized and trained personnel, significantly reducing the risks associated with magnetic field exposure. Engineered with durability in mind, it is constructed from high-quality rigid plastic, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use while resisting fading and cracking over time. The 8x10 inch design features bold lettering and universally recognized visual indicators, effectively meeting industry standards for visibility and comprehension in MRI environments.

Specifically tailored for the operational demands of facilities housing advanced MRI products, the sign is an essential tool for enhancing safety protocols and operational efficiency. It includes a fully adhesive reverse side, ensuring secure installation in any MRI suite. By prominently displaying this sign in designated zones, facilities can uphold stringent safety measures, providing clear guidance to staff and patients and safeguarding the integrity of MRI operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does an MRI Zone IV sign indicate, and why is it essential near the scanner room?

Zone IV is the scanner room itself—the highest-risk area of the MRI suite where the magnetic field is always active. A Zone IV sign alerts staff and visitors that entry is restricted to trained personnel and fully screened patients only. Facilities use this sign to reinforce ACR 4-zone guidelines, prevent unauthorized access, and reduce accidents near the magnet.

2. Is the MRI Zone IV sign durable enough for high-traffic MRI environments?

Yes. The sign is made from rigid, long-life plastic designed to hold up in demanding environments, including areas that undergo frequent cleaning and temperature changes. Its high-contrast lettering stays easy to read, which is important in an area where clear warnings help maintain safe workflow.

3. How do I install the MRI Zone IV sign, and will the adhesive backing stay secure over time?

Installation is quick—clean the surface, peel the backing, and press the sign in place at your Zone IV entrance. The full-adhesive reverse grips firmly and stays secure, even with regular disinfecting and heavy foot traffic. Facilities choose this style because it provides a reliable, low-maintenance way to standardize MRI zone boundaries.
