MR Unsafe 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.

Engineered with a unique dual-viscosity formula, SCAN® Ultrasound Gel applies smoothly as a gel and transitions to a fluid during scanning. This makes it ideal for procedures where a lower-viscosity coupling medium improves probe movement and image quality. Formulated for superior transmission across a broad range of ultrasound frequencies, SCAN® ensures clear, precise imaging for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Completely aqueous and water-soluble, this gel won’t stain clothing or damage sensitive equipment—making cleanup quick and hassle-free. Available in 8oz bottles with 12 units per box.

Features:

  • Dual-viscosity formula
  • Excellent acoustic transmission across frequencies
  • Water-soluble, non-staining, and equipment-safe
  • Hypoallergenic and non-irritating
  • Bacteriostatic and formaldehyde-free

Quantities Available: 

  • 8oz Bottles, 12/box

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the dual-viscosity formula work during an ultrasound exam?

SCAN® Ultrasound Gel applies with the control of a traditional gel but gradually becomes more fluid as the transducer moves across the skin. This helps the probe glide more smoothly during scanning while maintaining consistent acoustic contact throughout the examination.

When would SCAN® Ultrasound Gel be preferred over a standard ultrasound gel?

Many clinicians choose SCAN® for examinations that involve continuous probe movement or larger scanning areas. The lower-viscosity feel during use can help reduce drag on the transducer, making longer procedures more comfortable for both the clinician and the patient.

Is SCAN® Ultrasound Gel compatible with different types of ultrasound systems?

Yes. SCAN® is formulated to provide reliable acoustic transmission across a broad range of ultrasound frequencies, making it suitable for many diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound applications. It can be used with a variety of ultrasound systems without compromising imaging performance.

Does the gel leave residue on ultrasound equipment or clothing?

No. The water-soluble formula wipes away easily after the procedure and is designed not to stain clothing or leave residue on compatible ultrasound transducers. This helps simplify cleanup between patients while supporting efficient workflow.

Can SCAN® Ultrasound Gel be used in MRI procedures?

No. SCAN® Ultrasound Gel is labeled MR Unsafe and is intended for ultrasound imaging rather than MRI use. If supplies will be taken into an MRI environment, choose products that are specifically labeled MR Safe or MR Conditional for the intended application.
