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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would a 1/2" titanium ratchet be useful in an MRI suite?

A titanium 1/2" ratchet gives you strong, controlled torque for heavier fasteners you encounter around MRI equipment—table assemblies, frame hardware, or coil support structures. Since it’s non-magnetic, you can safely use it in high-field areas without worrying about pull toward the magnet.

2. Does this ratchet work with standard 1/2" non-magnetic sockets?

Yes. It’s built for any 1/2" non-magnetic socket, so it drops right into most MRI-safe toolkits. The larger drive size is helpful when working on bolts that require more force than a 3/8" drive can comfortably handle.

3. How does the titanium material perform under regular hospital cleaning?

Titanium stands up well to routine disinfecting—no rusting, pitting, or surface wear. The ratchet mechanism stays smooth even with frequent wipe-downs, which is important when tools travel between scanner rooms, staging areas, and shared maintenance spaces.

4. Is a 1/2" ratchet recommended for repairs close to the bore?

It can be, as long as you need the extra torque. Titanium eliminates magnetic attraction, so the tool stays stable around the magnet. If you’re working near the bore on larger fasteners, a 1/2" ratchet can actually make the job easier and safer by reducing how much physical effort you need.

5. Can this ratchet be used for general facility work outside the MRI environment?

Yes. It’s fully capable as a standard maintenance tool. Many teams keep it dedicated to their MRI-safe kit so there’s no mix-up with ferrous tools, but it performs well for just about any repair task that calls for a 1/2" drive.
