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 MRIMed Stainless Steel Non-Magnetic Bariatric Stretcher is an essential addition to any healthcare facility requiring specialized MRI equipment. Purposefully engineered to meet the high standards of modern medical environments, this stretcher ensures seamless compatibility with MRI products while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. Constructed from premium stainless steel, its non-magnetic design prevents magnetic interference, enabling safe and reliable functionality in sensitive MRI settings. With a weight capacity of up to 600 pounds, it is specially designed to accommodate bariatric patients, offering robust support and durability essential for complex medical procedures.

This MRI-compatible stretcher combines advanced features to enhance usability and versatility. It includes a 12-inch fold-down side rail for easy patient access, an adjustable Fowler backrest with nine positions (0-75°) for improved comfort, and a grounding chain for dissipating static electricity. Smooth-rolling, 5-inch locking casters ensure reliable mobility and secure positioning, while a non-marring bumper protects all sides of the stretcher. Additional conveniences include an integrated storage tray for medical supplies and a 3-inch thick mattress pad for optimal patient comfort. For added functionality, optional accessories such as an IV pole (TR-125) or oxygen holders (TR-126) are available. The stretcher is MR Conditional to 3 Tesla, offering high performance and reliability for today’s healthcare professionals investing in advanced MRI equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the MRI safety status of this stainless steel bariatric stretcher?

This stretcher is MR Conditional at 3 Tesla, built from non-magnetic stainless steel and other non-ferrous components. It can be used safely in MRI Zones I–IV under its labeled conditions without becoming a projectile risk or interfering with imaging. Facilities handling bariatric patients appreciate that it provides consistent, predictable behavior around stronger magnets, especially in busy 3T environments.

2. How well does this stretcher handle bariatric patients during MRI transport?

It’s rated to 600 pounds, and the frame stays stable even when moving patients who need extra support or slower transfer steps. The wide 30-inch platform gives patients more room, which helps reduce anxiety during transport. Techs often mention that the stretcher’s rigidity makes side-to-side transfers safer and more controlled, especially when going from prep areas into the MRI room.

3. How does the adjustable backrest help with MRI workflow?

The Fowler backrest offers nine positions from 0–75°, which is helpful for patients who can’t tolerate lying flat during prep or recovery. It also gives techs better access for placing coils, securing oxygen, or performing quick assessments before the scan. Because the adjustment motion is smooth and predictable, you don’t need to reposition the patient multiple times just to get them settled.

4. What mobility and safety features make this stretcher reliable inside MRI suites?

The 5-inch locking casters track well through narrow hallways and around shielded door frames. A full perimeter bumper protects both the stretcher and your scanner room architecture from bumps — something that matters in tight MRI environments. The grounding chain helps dissipate static buildup, which can be helpful in dry climates or winter months when static shocks become more common around electronics.

5. What accessories work with this stretcher, and are they all MRI-appropriate?

It comes with a 3-inch mattress pad and built-in storage for supplies. Optional accessories — like the non-magnetic IV pole (TR-125) or oxygen holder (TR-126) — are designed for MRI use, so you don’t have to swap hardware before entering Zone IV. This keeps patient flow cleaner and reduces the chances of bringing in something that hasn’t been screened for ferromagnetic content.
