MRI Med Adjustable Height Stretcher

1. What is the MRI safety rating of the MRI Med Adjustable Height Stretcher?

This stretcher is MR Conditional and tested up to 7 Tesla, so it can be used safely in MRI Zones I–IV when handled under its labeled conditions. The non-ferrous construction prevents pull, torque, or detector alarms near the scanner, which makes it appropriate for sites running high-field systems or strict ferromagnetic screening.

2. How does the adjustable height range help with patient transfers in the MRI suite?

The stretcher adjusts from 19.5 inches to 37 inches, which gives staff flexibility during transfers. Techs often raise it higher to match the MRI table height, then drop it lower for patient loading or wheelchair transfers. That range cuts down on lift strain and helps facilities stay closer to their safe-patient-handling benchmarks.

3. Can this stretcher support heavier or mobility-limited patients?

Yes. It has a 500-lb capacity, so it’s a solid fit for departments that regularly scan larger patients or individuals who need extra stability. The gas-spring backrest and Trendelenburg option also help when patients feel lightheaded, anxious, or need slow positioning changes before entering the magnet room.

4. What makes this stretcher easy to move through tight MRI hallways or shielded doors?

It uses low-rolling, easy-steer casters that track well in narrow spaces and around RF-shielded door frames. The casters lock with a foot pedal, and the corner bumpers protect scanners, walls, and coils during quick turns. Most techs notice the difference on days when the patient volume is high and room turnover is tight.

5. What accessories come with the stretcher, and can they remain in the MRI room?

It includes a non-ferrous IV pole (four mounting points) and an oxygen-cylinder holder, both designed for MRI use. Because they’re built from non-ferrous materials, they can stay attached when entering Zone IV, which helps streamline prep—no swapping equipment or disconnecting oxygen before transport.
