Proper Use of Earplugs Sign
Proper Use of Earplugs Sign
What does this mean?
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 – 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 – 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.
This instructional sign provides clear, step-by-step visuals and written guidance to ensure proper insertion of foam earplugs before entering Zone IV. Correct use of earplugs helps maintain effective hearing protection and patient comfort during MRI procedures.
In MRI environments, a minimum Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB is recommended to protect against high acoustic levels generated during scans. Displaying this sign in MRI environments promotes compliance with hearing safety protocols and reduces the risk of hearing discomfort or injury.
Constructed from durable, easy-to-clean materials, this sign is designed to withstand frequent cleaning and high-traffic use in clinical settings.
